Delip Rao accuses ex-OpenAI's Miles Brundage of dishonest victory-lapping
deliprao · x · 2026-09-07
Delip Rao doubles down in his spat with former OpenAI policy head Miles Brundage: Kaplan-style "scaling solves everything" would have hit a ceiling without function calling and ReAct (which he later corrects to 2022, not 2020). He calls it intellectually dishonest for Brundage to claim vindication of his 2018 report on the current reality, since the reasons don't match the original claims.
The debate boils down to whether today's AI should be credited to scaling foresight or to a chain of unforeseen synergistic inventions.
