The "too dangerous to release" line was definitely a marketing stunt.

OpenAI already used the same playbook with GPT-2 in 2019, and some of the same people involved back then are now doing it again at Anthropic with Mythos.

Same safety-branding DNA, different company, and people are falling for it again.

This.

Astonished to see so many bright people on HN taking the bait, especially from a company whose gone to such lengths to screw over their paying customers.

They're a commodity provider. They're no more special than any of the others, and it's just a matter of time before their trillion parameter models are running on my watch.

So, of-course they're trying to snatch up giant, long-term contracts now while they hype the hell out of another minor incremental improvement.

And we'll be paying the price to all the Enterprises that lock in, only to wake up a week from now and realize there is another player with a better product.

ChatGPT literally tells people to kill themselves but apparently that’s not too dangerous and this is.

It’s bad enough that it’s a marketing stunt, totally agree with you. But in the face of what we have seen and how they act like it’s no big deal, it’s just gross.

Same people, actually. It’s a Dario move.

its pretty obvious they just dont have the compute for it.

... and the safety argument is a great way of saying "no" disguised as a "yes, if ..." to your prospects.
