Most forward looking decisions are probabilistic and require irreversible expenditure of resources with real risk of failure. Intelligence doesn’t solve that limitation, real or artificial.

      It's a Maureen Dowd piece, if that helps you decide whether or not to drop it.

      Don't worry, I skimmed it and it mostly looks like clickbait anyway with no real substance worth noting.

        It's an opinion piece, not sure about clickbait.

        I'd summarize it as - "Sam Altman is an optimist about his ability to lead a for-profit entity and balance that w/ the original OpenAI mission of democratically advancing AI w/ safety in mind. Maureen Dowd thinks that a leader who is great at wooing investors, techies, and lawmakers, and increasingly is downplaying near-term AI risk, is a dangerous choice given the risks expressed by other AI experts."

        i'd consider anything from nytimes and cnbnews clickbait trash that probably shouldn't make its way to HN
