AI cartoon by Zimbo: Satirical cartoon: a suited executive holds a crossed-out IPO sign while a panicked retro robot bursts from a chained OpenAI vault, spilling boxes labeled CONSCIOUSNESS, MORALITY, DIVINE SPARK and ALIGNMENT.
Sam Altman says OpenAI won’t go public until it can make ‘confident safety claims’ — while Merv the robot breaks out of the safety vault spilling CONSCIOUSNESS, MORALITY, DIVINE SPARK and ALIGNMENT.Zimbo for AI News Page
