How, exactly, are they making "things look worse than they are"? By.... showing what the issue is?

Sure, but domains aren't going to be more than $10 or $20 for the year they're relevant.

Please, go right ahead and make your own trueascii.rest and show it to the class.

This. I stopped reading about halfway through when I realized they were almost all minor nitpicks or personal opinions. The others seem to be corner or edge cases and judging by how nitpicky the author was with the others, probably required going out of one's way to reproduce.

So then... Just do that and it's no longer reckless.

If someone wants to be reckless they can be. If someone doesn't, they also have that ability.

I'm pretty sure most people know letter and legal, some tabloid/ledger.

I mean, you choosing not to use the feature doesn't mean the feature doesn't exist and fulfill your needs.

Nobody denies or even claimed that.

Just as a reminder, the claim (only two comments ago) was that it will never reach people and be limited only to certain government-approved companies.

The press release pretty clearly outlines the next steps that will eventually get it into people's hands.

That is the claim that is being refuted. Nothing about the obvious government overreach happening here. You are the one that decided to bring that in as a strawman.

From the OpenAI press release:

> We don’t believe this kind of government access process should become the long-term default. It keeps the best tools from users, developers, enterprises, cyber defenders, and global partners who need them. We are taking this short-term step because we believe it is the strongest path to broader availability in the coming weeks, while we work with the Administration to develop the cyber Executive Order framework and a repeatable process for future model releases.

It seems like the exclusion is temporary. There is no process for individual users to get access to the new model _right now_.

I'm not exactly sure what your point is.

This has always been the case considering Microsoft made the encryption itself.

You can save your recovery key in different formats (printed, on a USB stick, etc). The online recovery is just automatic.

Is that a problem?

I would argue that preventing instructions for making biological and nuclear weapons is a pretty reasonable guardrail to have.

I think Slack requires reauthorization after some time. I get asked to sign back in to various accounts after a while.
