I'm sure they're all working very hard and are very
stressed and everyone thinks they're very smart,
and I don't even begrudge them the chance at
generational wealth. But their task is absolutely no-
fail, and their professional results are
unprofessional. My post struck a nerve.

"it doesn't matter if it was due to company culture.
Safety culture is pivotal to safety-critical systems
for a reason, and blaming it on culture doesn't make
it any less negligent"

I fully agree with this

culture explains how a gap survived review. it
doesn't make the gap less real

Could you imagine if a construction company
blamed "culture" if people kept dying on a building
site?

The AI companies are completely immature. They
think they can operate devoid of consequences
because what they do is "important".

Agreed. Acknowledging an alert in 3 minutes but
stopping the run 2.5 hours later is a controls failure,
period. I've sat through audits where that gets
written up as a major finding. Culture or not.

Scrolled X reply thread of five posts reacting to an OpenAI engineer's post about an incident, arguing that blaming company culture does not excuse negligence and that AI companies lack safety-critical-systems discipline. A floating compose button overlaps the last reply.

I have made a correct guess: AI companies would try to recognise which user is a Mathematician.

Still not knowing that you're indeed the fish seeing the bait, thinking there're benefits for you, only to finally be caught by the fishermen?

Talking to different mathematicians working with #ChatGPT in the last months, we noticed two things that were true for all of us:

1. it's basically impossible to run out of tokens. Every time we approached the limits we got free/automatic usage resets and could keep going.

2. We all got access to GPT-6 astra on the first day, when influencers and podcasters still reported of some staggered release and that they did not have it.

Given everything that happened last week, the picture looks very much like #OpenAI knowing exactly who is a mathematician and making sure they use their system as much as possible.

X post by Joanna Ko quoting a Mastodon post by Thomas Kahle (@tomkalei@mathe.social) claiming mathematicians got unlimited usage resets and day-one GPT-6 astra access, and arguing OpenAI identifies mathematicians and steers them to its system.

Ways I have heard the current alignment/security situation at AI cos described:

- a haunted house filled with mischievous poltergeists (METR/Redwood are Ghost Busters?)
- a termite infested log cabin
- a hospital needing to triage between bleeding out patients
