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.

People need to stop sharing that OAI's engineer
post. They did not do the basics actually, and 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.

If your sandbox is DNS, you belong in prison, along with
your models. My own LAN is literally more
professionally secured than this. x.com/kimmonismus/

You cannot continue to dismiss well-established
safety and security practices that have been applied
to equally large scale infrastructure, and say you've
tried nothing and you're all out of ideas.

Tweet by Heidy Khlaaf criticising an OpenAI engineer's post as negligent about safety culture, quoting a @macintogdev post mocking a DNS-based sandbox, with her own follow-up reply below about dismissing established safety and security practices. Public commentary on an AI incident.
