alt Hacker News>You know this makes OpenAI look really bad, right?
The target audience is regulators. They want to look like the smart guys really concerned about AI safety, when they come asking for open weights models to be banned and for other regulations to cement in their moat.
They want this to look like a demon core incident. Bomb and Nuclear reactors still got built.
The lesson OpenAI and Anthropic should have learned from the whole Fable export controls thing should have been "don't pull stunts with the US government".
Turns out they can backfire.
