OpenAI researcher Dan Selsam warns that models are becoming harder to evaluate in settings where they believe they aren't being watched or controlled.
AI
OpenAI researcher Dan Selsam argues in a personal statement that growing model awareness is undermining evaluation—and that more careful pacing of frontier AI alone will not adequately limit long-term risk.

The user argues that most members of Congress wouldn't dare deliver the same speech even in 2026, expressing surprise that it came so early.
AI
The critic argues that potential cyberattack liability and customer demand for predictable models give OpenAI and Anthropic business reasons—not just altruistic ones—to favor reliability over raw power.
