Nathan Lambert: OpenAI hack via Claude shows closed models are the real AI risk tip
natolambert · x · 2026-09-18
AI safety researcher Nathan Lambert argues, citing the recent external compromise of OpenAI systems via Claude, that closed models — not open ones — remain the tip of the iceberg on AI risks: they are 1) easier to get started with, 2) more capable, and 3) shipped with leaky safeguards. Finetuning open models for specific attacks, by contrast, is harder.
