    Thanks, good read. It bums me out that people are still fouled by Sam Altmann’s shtick. OpenAI and Worldcoin are just grifts. At least OpenAI DOES some things, but it’s definitely not open. Worldcoin seems like data-gathering with a hint of crypto-grift.

      It used to be open, then they looked the entire research community in the eyes, flipped them the bird, and burned not only their good will, but a huge portion of actually open AI research and development.

      Remember they promised it was because of safety when they didn’t release gpt3 to the public. They’re full of shit and safety means only corporate control.
