My opinion of OpenAI keeps getting lower and lower. I just really wish Anthropic wasn't associating themselves with Amazon.
A group of OpenAI insiders is blowing the whistle on what they say is a culture of recklessness and secrecy at the San Francisco artificial intelligence company, which is racing to build the most powerful A.I. systems ever created.
The group, which includes nine current and former OpenAI employees, has rallied in recent days around shared concerns that the company has not done enough to prevent its A.I. systems from becoming dangerous.
The members say OpenAI, which started as a nonprofit research lab and burst into public view with the 2022 release of ChatGPT, is putting a priority on profits and growth as it tries to build artificial general intelligence, or A.G.I., the industry term for a computer program capable of doing anything a human can.
They also claim that OpenAI has used hardball tactics to prevent workers from voicing their concerns about the technology, including restrictive nondisparagement agreements that departing employees were asked to sign.
[...]
The group published an open letter on Tuesday calling for leading A.I. companies, including OpenAI, to establish greater transparency and more protections for whistle-blowers.

History repeats itself? I mean, isn't western european whiteness the most recent reason that reckless race has wreaked ruination? (Aha, I alliterated!) But seriously, this reminds me way too much...

If there's anything I've learnt is that humans are the same all over. Their "whiteness" wasn't a reason, it just happened to be a useful tool.
Ultimately what happened is that a group of people seized an opportunity and pretty much got lucky, but any other group of people would've done the same. Ethnicity, color, or background doesn't matter. Opportunity does.
Genghis seized an opportunity. Abu-Abbas seized an opportunity. Sonni Ali Ber seized an opportunity. The Spanish crown seized an opportunity.
Whiteness was never the reason, just a method or tool. Just as religion, culture, or even technology have been methods of suppression.
When talking about the recklessness of corporate growth over all you shouldn't look at whiteness. You should look at the system that allows them to disregard their fellow human and gives them the opportunity to do so.
In short: I disagree and I find your finger pointing rather unsympathetic.
