Someone tried to kill Sam Altman in the name of AI safety (allegedly). This is a very bad idea. If you care about AI safety, please don’t do that.

AI Use Disclosure: YouTube generated the subtitles, which I partially formatted using Claude. I sometimes use Claude to find references. Also, Microsoft replaced their background removal tool with this weird gen-AI feature that I hate, which I used to remove the background from Sam's picture in one of the thumbnails.
