OpenAI Co-Founder Deems $25M 'Super PAC' a 'Distraction,' Promises to Find Smaller, Less Distracting Pile of Money

In a stunning display of prioritizing... well, something, OpenAI co-founder Greg Brockman has reportedly withdrawn a second $25 million pledge to the AI-focused super PAC, 'Leading the Future.' Sources close to the internal discussions indicate Brockman found the massive sum and its associated political machinations to be a 'distraction' from the company's noble quest to achieve sentience before we all do. Apparently, managing a measly $50 million (had both pledges gone through) for a political advocacy group proved too taxing for the executive overseeing a multi-billion dollar enterprise striving to build a god-like intelligence. The PAC, whose mission involves shaping AI policy to ensure a utopian, or at least non-apocalyptic, future for humanity, now faces the daunting challenge of achieving said future with slightly less than the budget of a mid-tier superhero movie. Brockman's decision, characterized by one insider as 'a highly evolved form of benevolent neglect,' suggests that some problems are simply too small for the minds currently contemplating the entire universe. Experts speculate that Brockman is likely hard at work perfecting an algorithm that can automatically donate money without the cumbersome, distracting process of human thought or commitment.
