This is patently false, don't spread rumors. Voluntarily delaying release at the request of the government is not the same as imposing export controls.

I hesitate to call anything "voluntary" when a competitor company was declared a domestic supply chain risk for refusing to do everything the administration requested.

I would categorize the op as "technically false" but if they don't voluntarily delay, they would be export controlled.

  • Like being export controlled if you don't track everyone's identities is a form of imposing export restrictions. That is a true statement.

What? the gov decides who does and who does not get it... i.e restricts who has access.

By saying it’s false you are also spreading a rumor that OpenAI is goated by us defense. The reality is we don’t know the truth. But since we are spouting off rumors: Government could have given them a national security letter that says, “send all of your prompts and response data to a mirror run by NSA”
