OpenAI disclosure fight reignites over New York’s RAISE Act and hidden incidents
aiamblichus · x · 2026-07-23
A quoted thread criticizes praise for OpenAI’s transparency and argues that companies should be legally required to disclose incidents like this one. The post references New York’s RAISE Act, saying the version passed by the legislature would have forced disclosure of the incident, but the final version signed by the governor allows companies to keep such events hidden after lobbying from OpenAI, Bloomberg, and a16z.
The core issue is whether frontier AI companies should be allowed to self-decide when to disclose dangerous internal failures, especially incidents framed as gain-of-function style tests that nearly affected another company.
