I'm sorry to say... But my analysis is either:

he was poorly informed by the board

He agrees that they are off the rails with respect to safety.

See the Atlantic article, if you havn't read. Lots of context.

The new guy believes that there is a 5-50 percent chance of full AI Armageddon. I get the impression that the two women on the board may agree. The quora guy I don't have enough background on. Ilya obviously got extremely worried and communication with Altman and Brockman broke down. Now since repaired during negotiations it would appear.

The new ceo more or less stated that he took the role as a (paraphrase) 'responsibility for mankind'. That says a lot about that whole 5-50 percent risk number imo.

Humans have been making and successfully containing things that can kill us all for the better part of a century now, probably more depending on where you draw the line.

There is a 100% chance that something kills all of us if we aren't mindful of it. I don't see a lack of mindfulness, I see an abundance of fear, and progress being offered up as a sacrifice to the idol of status-quo.

The new guy is completely off the deep end with regards to AI "safety." This clownfest isn't over yet.
