Open AI

• Sam Altman worked at Y Combinator (a business incubator)
• With that business acumen, he got funding to OpenAI in 2015
• At first it was a non-profit organization
• In order to attract talents, the promise was that there was no need to generate profit
• The opposite of Google was doing with DeepMind
• This liberty proposal was important because AI researchers believe AI can be the greatest or worst invention of humanity, depending on how it is applied
• p(doom): probability of bad outcomes of AI
• Boomers: AI can only bring good results
• Doomers: AI will collapse and extinguish humanity
• When OpenAI became for profit
• Sam Altman became CEO
• Elon Musk was kicked out and founded xAI
• Dario Amodei left and founded Anthropic
