It looks like the ethically challenged head of OpenAI has turned to threatening utilities and the electrical grid in order to juice sales.
"Nice generator you have there, it would be a shame if something happened there."
Armed with sordid tales of rogue AI agents escaping containment, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has found plenty of success using scare tactics to call for friendly regulation in the name of AI safety.
Now, it seems Altman is riding the wave of AI fearmongering to gin up some new business partners: the electric utility executives whose companies make up the US power grid.
As first reported by Politico, the CEO of the company behind ChatGPT held a series of clandestine meetings with leaders from top electric utility companies including Duke Energy, Exelon, Southern Co, and NextEra Energy, starting in July.
He's trying to get them to support legislation that would favor his company by engendering panic.
I am less worried about rogue AI than I am about Sam Altman.
