Is this a disturbing pattern? Disgruntled Engineer leaves AI org and starts new one which claims to be more safety orientated than the last. Then the forces of the market, greed and power take over and we are left with another competitive player in the high stakes race.
I don’t understand why we should trust Ilya after he played a very significant role in legitimising Sam’s return to OpenAI. If he had not endorsed this, the board’s resolve would’ve been a lot stronger. So I find it hard to believe him when he says ‘we will not bend to commercial pressures’, as in some sense, this is literally what he did.

Doesn’t feel ideal but I’m not part of this scene

More than commercial, my understanding from purely public documents is that it was societal pressures.
But I agree with you two on the spirit.
