I'm with you on the ethical part, but everything is a spectrum. All the AI leadership are some shade of evil. There's no way the product would be effective if they weren't. I don't like that Sam Altman is a lunatic, but frankly they all are. I also recognize that these are massive companies filled with non shitty engineers who are actually responsible for a lot of the magic. Conflating one charlatan with the rest of it is a tragedy of nuance.
replyYeah, but there's distinct difference between "risks their company because they refuse to help with killing little kids" and "happily helping with genocide".
replyOne of these is better.
Cannot you use Codex (which is open source, unlike Claude Code) with Claude, even via Amazon Bedrock?
replyOut of the loop here, what did Sam Altman do that is considered a sociopath and what did OpenAI do that is uniquely unethical that one should avoid it?
replyThis keeps popping up in every thread and I want to separate virtue signalling and genuine fear of OpenAI.
There's not one thing that stands out, but he abandoned the entire core principles of OpenAI (took a 180), constantly lies to people and doesn't plan to stop.

Calling out sociopaths is not virtue signaling. You need to look in the mirror if you think there's something wrong with that kind of virtue.
replyYou know, you can just google his name yourself, don't you?
