I think it's time for some clarity. Moving forward, I’ll be pausing my funding for OpenAI until we have a solid commitment from everyone to either stay or move in a different direction.

If you'd like to pursue a personal project, that’s totally understandable, but if you’d like to continue with OpenAI as a nonprofit, we’ll need a clear dedication from all involved. I don’t want OpenAI’s resources to feel like a launchpad for other ventures.

Thanks for your understanding.

Approximately the same length. No where near as dick-ish.

A classic example of people with no point choosing to police tone instead.

What you prefer to be an asshole with billions of dollars or an all around nice person and random commenter on reddit?

I'd rather be the nice homeless person than an asshole worth billions. Destroying the world for your own profit really shouldnt be idolized

It wasn't even a reference to any specific billionaire. As a collective, anyone with that amount of money has single handedly caused massive damage to the environment and society on their way to getting it.

Just look at how much CO2 a single private jet flight creates.

Siding with Trump is a good start

I’m not idolising anyone in my post.

On one hand it would be incredibly difficult to obtain that level of wealth and success, being nice and modestly to adequately successful to live a pleasant life is far easier.

We all have a choice in what choose to pursue and that’s fine.

It should be impossible to obtain that level of wealth. That we as a society allow it numbers amongst our greatest failures.

You quite literally can not become a billionaire without casting aside laws, morals and ethics.

We all have a choice in what choose to pursue and that’s fine.

So if I choose to harm others to benefit myself that's my choice? Don't play pretend.

There are plenty of self made billionares who didn't start out with much.  Plenty of them didn't break any laws, and I'm pretty sure Elon didn't either? 

Ethics and morality

Whoa whoa calm down buddy, that's just your subjective opinion that it's immoral.

Keep thinking that way.

Nah. Ethics and morality are pretty standard. They even have mandatory units on them if you take business classes.
