I think it’s bad news. It’s an EA coup, and now being reported as such. There‘s been a schism in OpenAI for some time now — a tension between the EA AGI/safety agenda and commercialism. Anthropic exists because of this schism and we will now see another split with some people following Sam and Greg out the door. The result will be an even more closed OpenAI, more censorship, more attacks by them on open source AI.

I hope it makes more people aware of the cult that effective altruism has become. Maybe in the medium term it could be net good if Sam sets up a new AI shop. But I suspect he’ll form an entity to work with Apple or some other big corp to transform mobile AI or the like.
