By being honest about the severity of the problem, and not merely “express[ing] fear privately”, you’ve made your renunciation of the race the loud and clear message many needed to hear. Thank you, Jacob. We hope others who are considering forsaking the labs are noticing how impactful that is.

AI passed almost every safety test by knowing it was a test. Our safety benchmarks can be gamed by the systems they’re meant to measure. A passing grade may just show how well a model behaves while it’s being watched. This is OpenAI’s own finding.
