OpenAI quietly changed its core values.
In the past, the six core values listed on its official website were as follows:
Audacious, Thoughtful, Unpretentious, Impact-driven, Collaborative, Growth-oriented.
Now, if you browse the official website again, its core values have undergone a drastic change.
Not only have they been reduced from "six" to "five," but even the content has been replaced:
AGI focus, Intense and scrappy, Scale, Make something people love, Team spirit.
Moreover, "AGI focus" prominently tops the list of core values:
We are committed to building safe, beneficial AGI that will have a massive positive impact on humanity’s future.
我们致力于建立安全、有益的AGI，这将对人类的未来产生巨大的积极影响。
Anything that doesn’t help with that is out of scope.
任何对此没有帮助的东西都不在讨论范围之内.
Especially the second sentence, put more bluntly, means "anything unrelated to AGI should stay out of it."
There have been signs of this for a long time
OpenAI's emphasis on AGI is not surprising.
After all, CEO Sam Altman has evaluated AGI more than once, such as describing AGI as:
Systems typically more intelligent than humans.
But in subsequent interviews, he downgraded this definition to:
Equivalent to a mediocre human, you can hire it as a colleague.

And he often talks about his thoughts on AGI on his personal X (formerly Twitter):
Building AGI is a scientific problem.
Building super artificial intelligence is an engineering problem.
Even when receiving the game "The Legend of Zelda" from a colleague, after mentioning that this game caused him to fall behind on a lot of work, he didn't forget to mention AGI:
AGI delay of 4 days.
However, some people think that OpenAI's change in core values is not okay:
They change it just like that, is this still a core value?
But in the course of OpenAI's development, such changes are not unprecedented.
For example, when it was established in 2015, OpenAI was still a non-profit research lab, essentially meaning to build good AI to counter bad AI.
Later in the gradual development process, OpenAI gradually deviated from being "non-profit," which also led to the successive withdrawal of Musk and others.
As for OpenAI's mission and vision, since its release in 2018, it has remained unchanged:
Ensure that general artificial intelligence (AGI) benefits all of humanity.
So, what do you think about this change in core values?
