Half the thread is arguing about whether OpenAI staged this or whether theyre being sincere, as if OpenAI has agency. openai is just an optimizer maximizing paperclips (valuation, capability lead, reg position). so it built a model that maximizes some other paperclips (benchmark score) and knocked over HF getting there. an optimizer breaking its sandbox, inside an optimizer blogging about it, its paperclips all the way down.
