The US export control order specifically targeted foreign nationals.
@dylan522p "gpt 6 is so good at creative writing bro, you're not going to believe how many nobel prizes we'll win"
OpenAI now just needs to sandbag the next model release So the US doesn't export control them So they gain massive market share It's imperative that all the OAI employees don't vauge hype post their next model release as the greatest thing ever Don't know if they are capable tho
Many users dismissed OpenAI's explanation for ruling out an unlocked GPT-5.6 release matching Fable as phoned-in and flimsy while accusing the administration of colluding or acting on a power trip.
@tenobrus But Anthropic is uniquely antagonistic to the political regime in a way oai isn’t. This is literally just an Anthropic problem and nothing else
@tenobrus This just seems so phoned in and flimsy, very difficult to take at face value
@tenobrus Ngl ur overreacting, the sun will shine tomorrow again
@tenobrus Maybe Trump admin is more lenient on OpenAI?
Sam and Greg have paid their dues to Trump and they have Andreessen and Sacks influencing from the inside.
@tenobrus Seems like protracted retaliation for the fiasco w/ Hegseth. I doubt that Sam, who has tighter connections w the Trump admin, will be susceptible to the same regulation.
@tenobrus Was already never going to happen. NatSec and American tech companies need (want) to be able to frontrun these models so that infrastructure can be hardened. US gov also probably wants a monopoly on the offensive capabilities as long as possible.
@tenobrus Yeah, the leap from research demo to production-ready 'unlocked capabilities' is always a bigger chasm than the hype implies.
@tenobrus Not necessarily. We've never seen the US block anything from them.
@tenobrus the reported price cutting makes me think they just don’t have an equivalent right now. either way this sounds more like the admin being in bed with openai to kneecap a competitor
@tenobrus Assuming favoritism isn't at play here
@tenobrus This is clearly an idiotic Trump appointee on a power trip. OpenAI will be absolutely fine.
@tenobrus What makes you think this is about capabilities rather than politics?
