   We need a new rule that mandates every such "I am leaving <AI company> because of <concern>" post to disclose how much equity they have in the company and how much they have already cashed out. Easy to suddenly find a moral compass when you, your kids and their kids never have to worry about working for money again.

   Mr Robinson if you are reading this – if you are truly concerned about AI safety share proof of donation of 100% of your OpenAI earnings and equity towards undoing the damage you have done to society during your time there.

   In the absence of that this is simply a career pivot into being an AI "influencer" and/or raising money for a new scam.

      I see what you're saying but how does that actually matter besides being a personal attack?

         Yes. To take an extreme case, imagine some rich guy who runs sweatshop gets very rich and retires and becomes activist against it.

            Does that actually happen? Feels like it would normally be the opposite

               Not sweatshops but Alfred Nobel might be one example.
