There isn’t an incentive not to lie when people will read a lie, understand it to be a lie, and then characterize the lie as “not true yet”. Like if your audience has already invented a term to excuse your lies before you start talking, you categorically do not need to tell the truth.

If people judged OpenAI/Sam Altman’s statements under the premise that they are either true or untrue and that there’s no third thing I imagine that we wouldn’t hear as much about OpenAI.
