OPENAI CEO: IT'S NOT FUNNY THAT I'M AFRAID OF THE AI WE'RE CREATING

The CEO of OpenAI has admitted repeatedly that he's scared of the tech his company is cooking up — but he doesn't think you should make fun of him for it.
​
"I think it's weird when people think it's like a big dunk that I say, I'm a little bit afraid," OpenAI CEO and noted doomsday prepper Sam Altman told podcaster Lex Fridman in an episode dropped this past weekend. "And I think it'd be crazy not to be a little bit afraid, and I empathize with people who are a lot afraid."

While Altman iterated during his Fridman show appearance that his concerns are primarily "disinformation problems or economic shocks" and not algorithmic "superintelligence," he has said a bunch of stuff recently that suggests that he's more than a little wigged out about AI.

Take, for instance, his recent comments to ABC News: "A thing that I do worry about is... [OpenAI is not] not going to be the only creator of this technology."
"There will be other people who don't put some of the safety limits that we put on it," Altman added.
YOU HEARD THE MAN! IT'S NOT FUNNY!
