It’s a show of astonishing incompetence from OAI’s part, but the security issues are just a tiny part of the problem. The real problem is that these models are evidently highly misaligned exactly in ways that doomers have been warning about the entire time, and OAI isn’t inclined or capable of doing anything about that besides security theater and ad hoc fixups.
We went from "obviously the doomers are wrong because who would be dumb enough to just let severely unaligned models loose on the Internet" to this. Insanity.
