(I work at OpenAI) Heya, in reality it's more much organic than that. We build stuff, ship it internally, then work crazy hard to quickly ship it externally. When we put something out on a given day, it's usually been in the works and scheduled for a while.
One concrete example: to set up a launch like today, where press, influencers, etc, all came out at 10a PT. That's all coordinated well in advance!
We cannot trust identity like we used to here on HN (even pre-LLM-AI I thought we seemed naive.) Unfortunately, we live in a world or anyone or any AI can claim almost anything plausible sounding.
Where do we go from here? (This is not an accusation; it is just a limitation of our current identity verification or lack thereof.)
You can confirm that the people who say things are in a position to know.
So, it's a whole lot more than "YOLO - let's launch this!"
