**misha**: It strikes me that OpenAI that began as a non-profit organization in 2015 with the goal of ensuring artificial intelligence benefits humanity as a whole, now releases a statement loaded with typical America-first rhetoric: American leadership in AI" and "national security of America".

**tim**: Haha makes you wonder if that post was hand-written bc ChatGPT definitely doesn‘t default to MAGA style rethoric 😅
