Our goal is to build a roughly human-level automated alignment researcher.
We are dedicating 20% of the compute we’ve secured to date over the next four years to solving the problem of superintelligence alignment.
This new team’s work is in addition to existing work at OpenAI aimed at improving the safety of current models like ChatGPT, as well as understanding and mitigating other risks from AI such as misuse, economic disruption, disinformation, bias and discrimination, addiction and overreliance, and others.

You’re completely right, and FWIW, I agree. Playing devil’s advocate though, what’s the alternative? Sit around and hope for the best?
The world has every right to question Sam Altman/OpenAI’s motives, but damn if they aren’t the most vocal champions of actually trying to do something about this, before it’s a colossal problem of unfathomable proportions.
I don’t know what the right call is here (does anyone, truly?), but I’m happy to see someone put real resources towards this and give it a sincere shot.

At least they are worried about our extinction.
