@markk argues OpenAI's endless hype-and-delay cycle — with GPT-6.2 still nowhere in sight — is explained by a now-deleted post from an OpenAI engineer named "Joe" proudly declaring the company has become a "security company" run by AI doomers. Justin Halford calls it a balance between shipping fast and not wrecking the brand, asking how many Hugging Face-style hack incidents a company can survive before a nation state steps in. Unverified industry drama reflecting frustration over OpenAI's safety-vs-shipping tension.
