When someone says they are doing something to help you, but it really helps them, you have to choose if you trust what they say. One way to know if you can trust them is to watch how they behave.
(By the way, I have been very transparent on HN that I have an axe to grind, literally referring to it as “an axe to grind”. My axe is that I think the frontier labs are a symptom of a cancer on our society, and I personally wish to see them and their tactics fail.)
Yes, that’s obvious, and it’s leading you to some really specious logic.
Your simpler version still sidesteps the point that a trademark dispute has nothing to do with AI safety. Other than that you disagree with it, therefore they’re dishonest scammers, therefore AI safety is all bullshit?
A trademark dispute in isolation isn’t related. But as part of a broader course of conduct in which the pursuit of commercial advantage consistently trumps other values, it is. We can disagree on this.
Again, you just have an axe to grind, and you've picked a poor area in which to grind it.
