alt Hacker News> OpenAI said GPT-2 was too powerful to release
Because they thought such a text-generating machine will bring about a golden age of fake news. Seven years later I have relatives who send me every day some long-winded AI-generated bullshit. And I have seen with my own eyes how this sort of thing influences elections.
> Antropic said Mythos was too powerful to release. Both are GA now
Mythos was too powerful to release, hence it is not GA now. They released Fable, which is Mythos plus guardrails.

So not releasing the weights at that time didn't make the world safer, but did help to transform OpenAI into a commercial entity. Why should we trust them now?
Oh ok I assumed Mythos was GA because I have access to it in Amazon despite not being in a security role at all. I guess it's just pay (enough) to play.
Anyway, Fable is supposedly as good (if not better) in programming and it's very far from the paradigm shift that was promised.
