> You know this makes OpenAI look really bad, right?
Please do explain how this event that makes their product look powerful and perfectly aligns with their openly stated long term goals of pushing for more AI regulation makes them look bad.
It makes them look incompetent, and like they are not up to the task of keeping their AI models "safe".
This very thread is full of comments from people who are shocked at how badly they messed this up.
Whose opinion do you think they care about most? Some random people on HN saying "wow this is a bad look", or the investors who will read dozens of headlines to the tune of "New OpenAI product did something EPIC and INSANE!" and immediately start lining up to throw them a few more billions during the next funding round?
