You’re not the target audience. OpenAI communication is for the broader public, decision makers, journalists, their cultists, etc

The basic concept has been here since llama3, in the open models. Likely earlier in closed labs. You use the previous gen models to curate and prepare data for the next gen. Now with the added benefit of actual arch/algo improvements (also public since gemini 2.5 gaining 1% efficiency on training next gen). This has been known for at least 2 years, in the open.

The basic concept has been there probably for 100s of years - you can go to the stuff the thinkers Mary Shelley was inspired by with Frankenstein, and you'll find similar ideas about feedback loops in science development.
I'm talking about current-era messaging and how it's being introduced to the mass public now, though.
The message is running through all of them. It's a mix of marketing and pacifying the intelligentia.
It's timed this way because the term is not yet well known outside the safety debate circles, so they get to frame it now.
Instead of something to fear, it will be accepted as the next step. In approximately two days the groupie crowd will write LinkedIn posts about how Sam is winning because they have the better RSI, and this will become the new standard wisdom.
In a month an AI expert will try to sell you a webinar on how to enable "RSI" in your org and your inbox will ask you if your team is doing the "RSI" yet.
