From the slide deck on the livestream: "[Operator safety risks and mitigations] Harmful tasks: User is misaligned" Looking forward to seeing some more of the examples for when openai considers their users as "misaligned", whatever that actually even means anymore.

As the storyline unfolds "AI" seems to be code for "machine learning based censorship". Soon we will have home appliances and vehicles telling you about how aligned you are, and whether you need to improve your alignment score before you can open your fridge. It is only a matter of time before this will apply to your financial transactions as well.
> While individuals can perform such tasks on their own time at no extra cost, Operator can do so less reliably for US-based ChatGPT Pro subscribers, who pay $200 per month.
Sounds amazing, sign me up :D
A lot of people here seem to think this is somehow for their benefit, or that OpenAI and friends are trying to make something useful for the average person. They aren't spending billions of dollars to give everyone a personal assistant. They are spending billions now to save even more in wages later, and we are paying for the privilege of training their AI to do it. By the time this thing is useful enough to actually…
This seems unreasonably pessimistic (or unreasonably optimistic in OpenAI's moat?). There are so, so many companies competing in this space. The cost will reflect the price of the hardware needed to run it: if it doesn't, they'll just lose to one of their many competitors who offer something similar for cheaper, e.g. whatever DeepSeek or Meta releases in the same space, with the cost driven to the bottom by commoditi…

I think it's less a problem of cost for the average person and more a problem of setting the market price for them at a fraction of the current one. This has such a deflationary impact that it's unlikely captured or even conceivable by the current economic models. There's a problem of "target fixation" about the capabilities and it captures most conversation, when in fact most public focus should be on public policy…

I can sympathize with vague notions of AI dystopia, but this might be stretching the concept a bit too far. This kind of service is extremely abusable ("Operator, go to Wikipedia and start mass-vandalizing articles" or "Go to this website and try these people's email addresses with random passwords until it locks their accounts") and building some alignment goals into it doesn't seem like a terribly draconian idea. A…
I don't think webmasters will be sitting down and hoping that this will not be abusable. Unlikely these kinds of agents would be allowed at all for producing content of any kind automatically (e.g. not via their APIs), or ai-slop will just overwhelm the internet exponentially. The same neural networks are ready for detecting certain fingerprints and denying them entrance

R1 is a fundamental blow to their value proposition right now, the uniqueness is gone, and forever open sourced. Unless o3 is the game changer of game changer, I am not seeing they are getting the narrative back soon.
