Right, but when they do release postmortems, do you think it's "marketing"? Where they're actually exaggerating how bad the incident was because there's "no such thing as bad publicity"?

No. I think the AI companies are doing this when they think they can tell a story about doom and gloom instead of sloppy engineering, which I thought was clear on.

There's no such thing as bad publicity in AI, at least if you spin the narrative into one about AI taking over the world or eradicating humanity or whatever.
