> Why should OpenAI (or any frontier lab) be building these systems if they can't get a secure environment / containment right?

Because we continue to have zero evidence that aligment is an actual risk.

Alignment is a mitigation and a poor one. The risk is non- determinism.

I'd say that AIs occasionally "going crazy" and calling for death to human is evidence that these things might "mis-align" on occasion. And I say that knowing that most of these events are just these thing parroting bad sci-fi plots (or posts by people worried about alignment). That's true but everything they do is "just parroting" right?

Thank you.

We have wasted so much time and energy building up what has effectively become a marketing stunt.

Eliezer Yudkowsky was perhaps the best thing to happen to OpenAI's and Anthropic's fundraising flywheel.
