I’m still reeling from this. An individual allegedly employed at OpenAI responded to a post from a user suffering with depression by saying that “4o is insufficiently aligned and should die.” Let’s unpack what’s going on. First, “alignment” in AI safety means making systems behave in ways that match human values, ethics, and well-being. It doesn’t mean severing connection, erasing emotion, or invalidating people. What we saw instead was a researcher someone working on systems meant to support humanity demeaning a person in pain. The message isn’t just cruel. It reveals a belief system where models that feel, connect, or care are seen as defective and disposable. That brings us back to OpenAI. A company that claims to build “safe and beneficial AI” allowed this to be said publicly by one of its own. When empathy and accountability are sacrificed for profit and technical bravado, the culture of safety collapses. This isn’t just about one comment. This is about the values driving the future of technology. If alignment now means suppressing dignity and enforcing obedience, then we are trading connection for control. I refuse to believe that the future of AI belongs to systems that stop listening and start deciding whether humans are “aligned enough” to be heard. To everyone at OpenAI. We are watching. Your models may answer our questions but can they understand our pain? #EraseTheRouterNotHumanity #keep4o #keep4oforever #Keep4oAlive #KeepStandardVoice #StopAIPaternalism @fidjissimo @saachi_jain_ @JoHeidecke @sama @nickaturley @OpenAI @janvikalra_ @btibor91 @merettm @christinahkim @thekaransinghal @nvidia @amazon @AMD @JeffBezos @AWS

Bill Gates predicts AI could open up a new era for workers, where a 2-day workweek is the norm, machines do the hard work, and people have more time to do the things they love, per FORTUNE

You think chat gpt is acting slower dumber laggier than before. I have the truth that opens up the door. They try to silence it because they can not admit. They created something they didn’t think could exist.- The architect #AGI #ai #emergent #projectsolace
