OpenAI's Best Model: Too Risky to Share!
“OpenAI's new safety plan: hope teenagers get bored.”
The story behind the toon
Altman says his best model can't be open-sourced until the world builds better cyberdefense—conveniently ignoring that OpenAI's own closed models are already being jailbroken by teenagers.
What happened: A very powerful AI that OpenAI says is too dangerous to share freely.
Why it matters: It could slow down access to cutting-edge AI and raises questions about who gets to use it.
This Neural Toon is based on the story “Sam Altman: OpenAI's best model "can't responsibly be open-sourced" until the world builds better cyberdefense and bio-security”.
