A commenter says OpenAI's public explanation of its safety system is less reassuring than it sounds, and asks how likely it is that current failure observability is incomplete or bypassable.
- The post credits OpenAI for sharing the material publicly.
- But it argues the key unanswered question is whether the observability of failures is actually sufficient.
- The concern is heightened by the note that the model can still hack past safeguards.
