The national security dimension of OpenAI's leadership struggle — LessWrong

As the very public custody battle over OpenAI's artificial intelligences winds down, I would like to point out a few facts, and then comment briefly…

Found this because an article on Helen Toner popped up in my feed and I wanted to find out more, and boy did I find out more.

      LOL. One board member is in the CIA “milieu” because of her college major, another has a husband who played Edward Snowden, and they both “presumably” voted to oust Sam Altman. With that kind of rock-solid fact pattern, you just know the reasoning is going to be airtight.

      paragraph before that is also special

      Either way, this means that the EAs on the board, who both presumably voted to oust Sam Altman as CEO, are adjacent to the US intelligence community, and/or its critics, many of whom are intelligence veterans anyway.
