Tech billionaire Elon Musk is leaving the board of OpenAI, the nonprofit research group he co-founded with Y Combinator president Sam Altman to study the ethics and safety of artificial intelligence.
The move was announced in a short blog post, explaining that Musk is leaving in order to avoid a conflict of interest between OpenAI’s work and the machine learning research done by Telsa to develop autonomous driving.
He’s not involved anymore, but he used to be. It’s not inaccurate to say he was a co-founder.
While I find the human shield arguments compelling, I figured he was just trying to virtue signal to the Republicans that he’s a good, old fashioned family man just like them. “Republicans love kids and family, right, so if I show off my kid at all times they’ll love me too, right? Please? Anyone? Please, love me.”
He’s too stupid to realize the right wing love of family is performative and they don’t actually give a shit about kids.
