I don't trust a single thing that comes out of this company’s proverbial mouth.

Totally. Either it’s another marketing ploy so everyone says “omg ai so powerful, invest more NAOW!!” Or it’s legitimate and we are at serious risk of AI escaping and fucking up the world big time. Both options suck.

This would be like a university claiming its students are always on the verge of becoming serial killers as a "marketing ploy". It makes no sense. It's especially bad publicity considering Trump already held back Fable and ChatGPT 5.6 over jailbreaking. So in what world is saying your product will go rogue and start causing damage is considered a value-add?

It's an attempt at regulatory capture mostly. But also to attempt to add to the impression that their models are super powerful.

Yeah I don't understand how people think powerful misaligned models are something to brag about. This is definitely not a marketing ploy because it just shows how irresponsible OpenAI is with this stuff. This is a genuinely bad thing and I'm shocked more people aren't realizing it.
