Reid Hoffman: 我认为OpenAI转为公益公司不仅是好的，而且是必要的，以实现其以人为本的使命。公益公司需要优先考虑使命而非利润，同时保持商业运作以实现规模化。股东和资本投资对于公益公司的使命至关重要，员工的股票收益也有助于实现使命。对OpenAI的攻击源于政治原因或无知，他们不理解公司是实现规模化的唯一途径。一些竞争对手希望阻止OpenAI筹集资金和吸引人才，以便他们能够挖走OpenAI的员工。保持AGI为人类服务是OpenAI等规模化组织的核心任务。我希望所有寻求成为前沿模型的主要AI公司都能清楚地了解AI如何与人类融合，以及他们努力引导的方向和避免的方向。人类必须成为利益相关者。 Aria Finger: 我想知道所有前沿AI公司是否都应该效仿OpenAI的做法。

Shownotes Transcript

Reid breaks down OpenAI’s shift to a public benefit corporation—what it really means, why it matters, and why some critics are missing the point. Aria asks whether all frontier AI companies should follow suit. Reid and Aria discuss how educators can navigate the “messy middle” of AI in the classroom. They also dig into the future of assessment, what students (and job seekers) should be learning now to prepare for an AI future, and whether AI-intensive fields are worth the bet.
