Deep dives
Positive developments in OpenAI's trajectory
OpenAI's trajectory has evolved positively according to Nathan LeBens, who initially had concerns during the red team situation but now sees that OpenAI is making reasonable moves and demonstrating seriousness in their efforts towards AGI. Leadership of major model developers also recognize the risks associated with AI, showing a responsible approach and a willingness to prioritize safety.
