In our current era, most people would align with Altman. All he's saying is he ok with personal gain at the expense of others or the public.

That is exactly the mindset of most people and the philosophy underneath freemarket Capitalism.

That people elected the current administration is just a broad reflection of the American public's level of consciousness.

The rich gets richer, and the poor gets poorer.

Some of us may die, but it's a sacrifice Sam is willing to make.

I get where they're coming from. It would be a similar argument in favor of the Industrial Revolution. The question is where is this all going, we seem to be approaching the end game of the evolution of technology. This could be catastrophic for humanity as tech cannot align with how humans evolved. Humans are already a bottleneck for AI (with pro-AI people literally saying this), so where does that lead us? Billions of useless humans, which then lead to mass poverty, civil unrest and wars?

This is a tough question but what is certainly worrying is how determined these companies are to push forward despite potential consequences. It's not even anti-AI, it's anti-hubris and not letting them get away with irresponsible decisions that affect everyone.
