The point is that it's a purposeful slow walk, the entire "non-profit" framing and these "limitations" are a very calculated marketing play to soften the justified fears of unregulated, for-profit ( I.e. Endless growth) AI development. It will find its way to full evil with 1000 small cuts, and with folks like you arguing for them at every step along the way, "IT'S JUST A SMALL CUT!!!"

    While I do think AI development isn't going to be going in the direction you think it is, if you read it carefully you'll notice that I'm actually not saying anything about whether it's "a small cut" or not, I'm simply laying out the key nuance of the article that no one is reading.

    My point isn't "OpenAI changing the scope of their military ban is a good thing" it's "people should read the fucking article before commenting if we want to have productive discussion."
