It's impossible for private companies to decide what state actors (especially the US military) want to do with AI. OAI made a business decision to cooperate with the DoW. And they had to make the "we can't control how customers use it" excuse due to pressure from its employees, peer competitors and the general public.

I think a lot of things are out of his control now. I don't even think he was fully onboard with the $200 million deal.

> Sam Altman admits OpenAI can’t control Pentagon’s use of [Open]AI Here's Sama lying again. Of course it can. He's choosing not to. > “You do not get to make operational decisions,” Altman told employees, according to reports by Bloomberg and CNBC. > “So maybe you think the Iran strike was good and the Venezuela invasion was bad. You don’t get to weigh in on that,” Altman reportedly said. Sorry OpenAI employees: you thought you get input things that you work on? You thought you're allowed to have moral qualms about killbots and domestic mass surveillance of civilians? Lol. Lmao. Only Sama makes the decisions, and he decided to let the government use your work for killbots and mass domestic surveillance of civilians. You just sit down, STFU, and do what Sama tells you to do. You peons should be seen and not heard. Shut up and dribble.
