OpenAI has always had the stance of “commercialize narrow AI that is research aligned with AGI development”. In fact they used to ask this as an interview question — “should we commercialize narrow AI or aim to put all resources into AGI”. The correct answer required you to prove you drank the kool aid and also wanted to make tons of money.


Makes sense, I guess. Did you hear that question yourself in an interview, hear it from someone who interviewed, or hear that as a story through the grapevine? and ~when was it asked?


Is there a correct answer?


Commercializing something gives you more resources to do the thing you really want to do.

Anthropic came to the same conclusion. SSI either doesn't have something commercializable or came to a different conclusion.
