Why be polite to AI? “You never know” — Sam Altman, Apr 17, 2025

Q: Why do we “never know”?

A: Because (1) AI is a black box and nobody knows what happens inside, and (2) common sense would imply that IF an AI assumes control of our world, THEN retribution could be severe.

Really, now? No- we do need to know we are safe. That is the requirement.
