Another research poet drops, this time Zoë Hitzig from Open AI archive.is/dfuzP Are research poets a thing I just didn’t know about? She’s quitting because of the introduction of ads, but falls short of either realising or just admitting that OpenAI never cared about safety - they cared about hedging expensive legal risk. Is buying into the idea of corporate principle declarations something people do as a mental health protection mechanism? Are they genuinely naive enough to think self-governance works in a capitalist system? Is this a political long play to maintain her desirability as a future hire? Someone should write both a paper and a poem about that.

  • @fiat_lux@lemmy.world @techtakes Yes, they're that naive. Fish don't notice the water they swim in and don't realize life exists outside of it. And the whole AI bubble is 100% capitalism-centric. (Research institutions got priced out of the game a few years ago and are tinkering around the margins.)
