> OpenAI's ideas of humanities best interests were like a catholic mom's

How do you mean? Don’t see what OpenAI has in common with Catholicism or motherhood.

They basically defined AI safety as "AI shouldn't say bad words or tell people how to do drugs" instead of actually making sure that a sufficiently intelligent AI doesn't go rogue against humanity's interests.

I'm not sure where you're getting that definition from. They have a team working on exactly the problem you're describing. (https://openai.com/blog/introducing-superalignment)

> getting that definition from

That was not about actual definition fro OpenAi but about definition implied by user Legend2440 here https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38344867

Sure, they might, but what you see in practice in GPT and being discussed in interviews by Sam is mostly the "AI shouldn't say uncomfortable things" version of AI "safety".
