This part is at the bottom of the article, but Altman's promise to say sorry got an article of its own:

OpenAI CEO agreed to apologize to Tumbler Ridge community, says B.C. premier

And it quotes the premier singing the praises of Altman and AI:

Eby credited Altman for participating in the call, acknowledging he was not obligated to do so, and suggested that, based on a review by the premier’s staff, OpenAI has better reporting standards than any similar companies operating in Canada...

Eby called AI a technology with “incredible promise,” including in providing medical care and tackling issues such as climate change.

The last part is by far the dumbest. Medical care is grimly ironic when Canada has a doctor-assisted suicide problem, and climate change is something AI is accelerating. It's not going to generate a novel solution to it.
