John,
Elon Musk is basically running the US (into the ground).
Mark Zuckerberg's net worth went up by $5.8 billion in one day recently and his company Meta is a hotbed of lies and hate that is poisoning our society.
Now Sam Altman wants to join them. His company OpenAI was created to develop artificial intelligence that would benefit humanity as a whole. It's a non-profit. But Altman and his cronies are maneuvering to turn it into a for-profit business, taking tens of billions of dollars of public value private.
The last thing we need is more tech billionaires. And if the biggest AI companies are all run for profit, we know what we'll see -- more Musks and Zuckerbergs destroying everything so that they can be kings.
But the change to for-profit isn't assured. Multiple legal officials have a say, and the company's board does too. If people everywhere – from technologists to lawmakers to business leaders and everyone in between – join together and demand a halt to this plan, we can stop it...and show Big Tech that the time for doing whatever it wants is over.
Add your name: protect OpenAI’s non-profit mission
Just imagine, in a few years from now AI systems will be everywhere and they’ll get to decide who gets jobs, what news we see, and even who lives or dies. And the for-profit companies that control these systems answer to shareholders, not to you.
CEO Sam Altman is determined to push this plan through — strong-arming former execs and board members and promising investors a corporate overhaul.
Now Attorneys General in California and Delaware are investigating Altman's plans, and could effectively block them -- but they could also cave to industry pressure.
That's where we come in. If we show these officials that people everywhere are paying attention to this case, it could force them to take strong action to protect the future of AI.
Tell the Attorneys General: safeguard OpenAI’s non-profit mission
When OpenAI was founded its mission was rooted in safety, ethics, and serving the public good. If Sam Altman has his way with the company’s corporate structure, it puts that important mission in jeopardy.
Only a massive public outcry will show lawmakers and the board that this is more than a secret backroom deal.
