The Spin
Narrative A
The concerns raised by this letter are disturbing, to say the least. There are other reports trickling out of OpenAI that claim that the company hastily rushed through safety screening to meet a release date in May, as safety takes a backseat to financial interest. OpenAI cannot be trusted to fulfill its mandate of altruistic AI development and must be held to account.
Narrative B
No one has a better understanding of AI safety than the undisputed industry leader, and OpenAI has always made safety paramount. The company has a new safety committee working on a report on their upcoming model and already has strong whistleblower protections. There's no evidence that OpenAI is engaged in any nefarious activity or suppression of dissent.
