> In spring 2024, Altman learned Google would unveil its new Gemini model on May 14. Though OpenAI had planned to release GPT-4o later that year, Altman moved up the launch to May 13—one day before Google’s event.

> The rushed deadline made proper safety testing impossible. GPT-4o was a multimodal model capable of processing text, images, and audio. It required extensive testing to identify safety gaps and vulnerabilities. To meet the new launch date, OpenAI compressed months of planned safety evaluation into just one week, according to reports.

> When safety personnel demanded additional time for “red teaming”—testing designed to uncover ways that the system could be misused or cause harm—Altman personally overruled them.

> The rushed GPT-4o launch triggered an immediate exodus of OpenAI’s top safety researchers. Dr. Ilya Sutskever, the company’s co-founder and chief scientist, resigned the day after GPT-4o launched.

Losers aren't talked about, they just lose.

The pitchfork crowd is going to be out to get the AI innovators, one way or another. There's no amount of 'safety training' that will exonerate them. Gemini got burned, now its OpenAIs turn.

So the calculus is very simple: Do the absolute minimum that's required, and ship it. Sam is proving himself very capable, very rational. OpenAI could scarce wish for a more politically savvy, more brutally rational captain to steer the ship into these uncharted waters.

Sometimes, fortune punishes the brave. But it is ruthless to idlers.

With all due respect, your comment is absolutely unhinged and that is the best faith interpretation I can infer from it. I sincerely hope views like yours are in the minority.

Yikes. You’ve mistaken sociopathy for strategy. “Do the absolute minimum” only sounds rational if you’ve already decided other people’s lives have no value. The real pitchfork crowd isn’t coming for innovators; they’re coming for people who think dead teenagers are an acceptable cost of beating Google’s press release by a day.
