The reason he's saying that is because he doesn't want you to create that structure. He wants you to not create the laws or checks & balances on him because you "trust that he doesn't really want the power".

It has worked for him, repeatedly.

No, I don't think that's accurate. Altman has repeatedly and loudly demanded for these to be created, including a new detailed policy proposal just this month (https://cdn.openai.com/pdf/561e7512-253e-424b-9734-ef4098440...).

		OpenAI has also repeatedly and quietly lobbied against them. You linked a vague PDF whose promised actions are: > To help sustain momentum, OpenAI is: (1) welcoming and organizing feedback through newindustrialpolicy@openai.com; (2) establishing a pilot program of fellowships and focused research grants of up to $100,000 and up to $1 million in API credits for work that builds on these and related policy ideas; and (3) convening discussions at our new OpenAI Workshop opening in May in Washington, DC. Welcoming and organizing feedback! A pilot! Convening discussions! This "commitment" pales in comparison to the money they've spent lobbying against specific regulation that cedes power. Please don't fall for this stuff.
