Mistakes happen when building toward AGI, the speaker says, and open source principles matter in principle.
I'm a big believer in open source, but I think a lot of the stuff you're seeing in OpenAI is what you would expect to see from a company that is approaching the most important thing that humanity could ever build. Right. AGI, like, you would expect that there would be major. The emotions would be very high. You would expect that major mistakes would be made. We're still human. You would expect that there would be, like, culture clashes of people having very different opinions of what you do with this new fire that we're inventing. Right.

Like even tweeting out her that, like, the whole thing about the voice and all that, most of that was bullshit, but him tweeting out her was a mistake. And so I think that's what we're seeing here. And even all the drama, people leaving stuff, Helen's statement, I see that as culture clash. I see that as the people who were more concerned about what AGI could do, they are now out.
