It feels like the people at OpenAI have been pushed hard to get these features out the door - with the release of ChatGPT, suddenly many big players have rushed to release their (GPT 3/4) based products, which will involve multi-billion contracts.

If they had waited for things like security reviews, they might have missed the boat. Developments are going really fast in this space.

If things like the issues we have seen in the last days require a security review in order to be caught, then I am not very optimistic about the rest of their stack.

"We were going to implement AI safety, but like the competitors are going to fast and we needed to release first"

We are going to great filter ourselves.

There is a fantastic bit in one of Terry Pratchett's books:

"Some humans would do anything to see if it was possible to do it. If you put a large switch in some cave somewhere, with a sign on it saying 'End-of-the-World Switch. PLEASE DO NOT TOUCH', the paint wouldn't even have time to dry."

Oh dear, that may be me.

I was at Home Depot in the checkout line and they had some construction going on. Hanging down from the ceiling by wires was a red button. I was compelled, I could not avoid it. I pushed the red button. A loud buzzing noise occurred. The cashier sighed and said that I was the sixth guy to do that, not a single woman had pressed the button so far.
