I'm betting against OpenAI. Sam Altman has proven himself and his company untrustworthy. In long running games, untrustworthy players lose out.

If you disagree, I would argue you have a very sad view of the world, where truth and cooperation are inferior to lies and manipulation.

Arguing what is based on what should be seems maybe a bit questionable?

Fortunately, I'm arguing they're 1 and the same. "in long running games, untrustworthy players lose out"

That is both what is and what should be. We tend to focus on the bad, but fortunately most of the time the world operates as it should.

Thats assuming untrustworthy players can't skew the rules so pretty much academic spherical horse in a vacuum. There is regulatory capture there is coercion there is corruption.
