If you already have riches, it’s a good way to lose them unless you’re really careful.
Musk is a poster child on this front.
Lying about a material fact in a way that would be trivial to prosecute you on, especially when you have a well funded adversary it impacts, and that would be more than happy to destroy you with such a lie, is a good way to lose riches.
This is more like Ukraine announcing Putin’s pending invasion in advance.
Where did I say it didn’t? That’s actually a rather bizarre tangent.
Ukraine and Russia seem quite applicable, since Mr. Nadella was basically making it clear that:
1) he knew the potential direction someone might take to harm the company he is in charge of, and
2) there were already plans/things in place to make their chances of success zero. Plans that the opponent knows about and can verify, and in Microsoft’s case they were a party to making.
It’s the ‘I see what you’re doing there’ notice.
You’d have to be pretty desperate to keep going after that kind of notice. Russia was, and it has cost them immensely. We’ll see how it plays out OpenAI wise.
If those things weren’t all provably true, then it would be a really dumb move to do as it just exposes him to tons of direct risk with no plausible gain, as the opponent would have zero compunction in hurting him with it - and tons of ability to do so.
