Developer gerardsans, in a discussion with journalist Kantrowitz and others, claims there are now more than 50 lawsuits against OpenAI involving multiple deaths (unverified figure), calling it a real social toll ignored for market capture. Invoking the engineering principle "can't secure the system? Don't deploy it," he accuses labs of 'safety washing' — using safety and alignment rhetoric to obscure risks while racing for market share.
