Australian newspaper front pages are dominated by OpenAI-related incident reports. Former board member Helen Toner notes the new incidents all cluster in May-July, when OpenAI's training setup was 'clearly fucked'—almost reassuring if it's been fixed—but asks what might be happening now at OpenAI or elsewhere that we won't learn about until December, highlighting the months-long lag in AI safety transparency.
