“Larry Page isn’t the only top industry figure untroubled by the possibility that AIs might eventually push humanity aside.” - @PriceIndex Fantastic to see the @WSJ cover the people in Silicon Valley and elsewhere who actually welcome human extinction by the hand of AI.
Governments and experts are worried that a superintelligent AI could destroy humanity. For some in Silicon Valley, that wouldn’t be a bad thing, writes David A. Price.

The nonprofit currently owns 100% of the residual value after capped returns. Not sure how being reduced to 20-30% is a fair assessment, especially when the nominal control of the non-profit over operations also decreases significantly.
Financial Times projected OpenAI’s cap table following its for-profit transition: ▫️Microsoft (30%) ▫️OpenAI Employees (30%) ▫️OpenAI Non-Profit (>20%) ▫️Softbank (10%) That leaves ~10% for existing investors (Thrive, Khosla, MGX etc). Moving forward, Nvidia’s $100B investment

Pleased to see this assessment of future AI risks from the head of MI5. But important to note that this thinking isn't shared across large parts of the national security apparatus.

“…those who use it [AI] a lot… tend to be high on aversive personality traits… like Machiavellianism (e.g., those who are manipulative and deceitful), narcissism (e.g., those who have high self-regard), and psychopathy (e.g., those characterized by low rates of empathy…)”
Artificial intelligence dominates headlines, but new evidence shows most people barely use it in daily life. Researchers examined real-world web behavior and found low rates of AI use, often linked to traits like narcissism and Machiavellianism.
