That is a lot of words, none of which state or claim the article was in any way inaccurate. Curious, that

Re: Sam Altman's response to Molotov cocktail incident
#272Can someone help me to understand why OpenAI and Anthropic talks as if the future of humanity controlled by them? We have very strong open (weight) Chinese models possibly only 6 months behind of them, gene is out of the bottle, is 6 months of difference really that important? And they don’t have good reasons for that 6 months to stay that way. Am I missing something or are these just their usual marketing? I’m not a…
Do any of the open weight models from smaller labs exist if they can't distill from the SoTA models that are throwing billions of dollars of compute into pretraining?

#273I don’t think this will do much to help his image. They had to stop putting Luigi Mangione in the media because public sentiment was not going the way they expected.
Who is “they”?

#275> It will not all go well. The fear and anxiety about AI is justified; we are in the process of witnessing the largest change to society in a long time
Reason enough to pause and figure out the best way to continue. A massive societal change that won’t all go well means millions dead and tens more with their lives upended.

They own the best models and will probably keep owning the best models for a while. They have much more compute now and more data to keep improving their models on many tasks. Open source won't close the gap in 6 months. They are also trying to block other companies from distilling their models [0]. [0] https://www.anthropic.com/news/detecting-and-preventing-dist...
GLM 5.1 already closed the gap on Opus 4.6. Deepseek 4 could surpass it.

#278It's never OK to physically attack someone like this. Full stop. Separately; Sam's belief that "AI has to be democratized; power cannot be too concentrated." rings incredibly hollow. OpenAI has abandoned its open source roots. It is concentrating wealth - and thus power - into fewer hands. Not more.
So you think it would always be wrong to throw a molly at Hitler?
Re: Sam Altman's response to Molotov cocktail incident
#279Earlier quoted context omitted.
Sam eagerly pursued DoD contracts to weaponize AI. And then lobbied for legislation to ensure OpenAI cannot be held accountable if people are killed due to their systems.
Military power and attacks on private individuals are different things. It's perfectly consistent to be against attacks on private individuals while being in favor of building military weapons.
