I've really come around to trusting OpenAI a lot more than Anthropic the past few months. Reading between the lines of his own output, Dario Amodei comes off as both a dogmatic believer in ASI as a perfect, infallible ruler for humanity and quite an extreme American nationalist. The company, likewise, looks to be in ideological lockstep. I could see them, say, allowing or consciously creating runaway ASI they believed was ideologically aligned with them.

OpenAI seems generally less dogmatic and more practically oriented. There's really nothing particularly good about them, but you can at least predict how a normal company will act.

Pretty wild statement given the "Pathological liar" chat around the OAI leader

You can infer a pathological liar's true intentions from the incentives they find themselves subject to, but not a zealot's.

		So in summary, your statement is that you’ve “come around to trusting” this “pathological liar”?

		Well this administration is full of pathological liars, so what are their true intentions with this?

You didn't even need to read between the lines, that was basically what the CEO stated point blank in interviews and in his writing.

(I noted the same thing a few weeks back, https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48341224 but his recent blogposts should make it crystal clear if there was any lingering doubt).
