“Move fast and break things” seems like a sound business strategy until people start waking up and wonder why everything is broken. For a similar example, see “Meta” and the legal trouble they are in for harming children and teens.

They don't need to win people's trust. Why do they? Petroleum companies are universally hated and they fuel the whole society. Politicians are the least trusted professionals and they literally rule the countries.

The usage graphs indicate trust doesn't matter all that much. Nothing has been adopted by all of the software development industry faster or more thoroughly, except maybe git. I'm also highly suspicious of the motivations of Amodei and Altman, and consider them a bigger risk than AI itself (or, rather, I think it's probably riskier having them in charge of the leading AI companies than someone else), but I still pay them every month.
