OpenAI researcher: our biggest comms failure is not explaining how we differ from Anthropic

Aidan Clark, quoted on discussions of whether an AI-lab "handoff" is the plan, says their single biggest comms failing — "bigger even than the DoW!" — has been not clearly expressing how much they differ from Anthropic on this. The quoted post notes many OpenAI staff deny handoff is the plan, while no Anthropic staff have said the same. A rare public marker of the two labs' diverging safety postures.
