OpenAI touts safety while insiders hype unreleased model on X, critic calls it farcical

Blogger jacobposel calls out what he sees as a farcical contradiction: OpenAI says it's deeply concerned with AI safety and equality and is collaborating with the US government on a secure rollout of its newest models — while an SV insider with 83k followers simultaneously posts on X that they've been using the unreleased "Astra" model and it's "AMAZING." The post mocks how unreleased-model hype circulates through insider accounts even as safety messaging dominates official channels.
