"Gasoline is dangerous, and nobody but us should be allowed to sell it. To prove this, we put a cup of it in the microwave, hit 'Start', and sprinted away. The results, we believe, speak for themselves."

(1) OpenAI has never said they should be the only ones allowed to sell AI.

(2) Because gasoline is dangerous, refineries and fuel stations require government licenses and regular inspections in order to operate legally.

So I’m not sure how your comment contributes to our understanding of the situation.

    I think troupo says it better than I did: "I want people to stop pretending they're surprised when a computer does exactly what it's instructed to do."

    (I will agree that the snarky part is better aimed at Anthropic than at you guys, though.)

    I think it's generally considered good etiquette on HN to disclose your employer when jumping into a thread to argue on their behalf.

      I can't edit it now, so let me disclose here: I work at OpenAI.
