If you’re in EA in California or Delaware and believe OpenAI has a significant chance of achieving AGI first and there being a takeoff, it’s probably time-effective to write a letter to your AG encouraging them to pursue action against OpenAI. OpenAI’s nonprofit structure isn’t perfect, but it’s infinitely better than a purely private company would be.
Thanks, I wrote a letter to my California AG because of this comment. See here for a workflow someone else made to write a letter to the California or Delaware AG. My letter is here if anyone wants to take a look for inspiration.
Given that this comment has gained some traction, consider making a top level post with more instructions to get people to do this?
I’d also be interested in a bit more exposition on the theory of change re: writing the AG — I get why writing to your representative is probably useful, but do AGs typically take letters from the public into account when deciding whether to make an objection?! (I’d bid for you to make the top level post even if you don’t address this question though, just for visibility reasons.)
