Sam Altman: Previous Methods were Too Radical
Sam Altman tweeted:
“I have learned a lot from this experience, and when I believed that certain behaviors of a former board member would harm OpenAI, I should have handled the situation with more grace and thoughtfulness. I apologize for this, and I hope that I can do things differently. I expect that all participants sincerely believe that achieving AGI correctly is of utmost importance.”
