@littmath it’s been four months, a bunch of models have been released with “o3” brandname but you can’t buy anything that does what they livestreamed at any price.

@arcprize @OpenAI 2. The @arcprize team tried to test a high-compute version of o3, but it kept failing to answer. They spent >$50,000 trying to get it to work, but couldn't, so those December results can't realistically be replicated with the released model.

The statement engages in public discourse by discussing the replicability and transparency of AI models, comparing the situation to a known scandal, and questioning the integrity of the release. It raises concerns about the reliability of AI demonstrations and the ethical implications of potentially misleading claims.

  1. Principle 1:
    I will strive to do no harm with my words and actions.
    The statement suggests potential harm by comparing the situation to a scandal, which could damage reputations without full evidence. [-1]
  2. Principle 2:
    I will respect the privacy and dignity of others and will not engage in cyberbullying, harassment, or hate speech.
    It questions the integrity of OpenAI's actions, potentially impacting their dignity, but does not engage in direct harassment or hate speech. [-1]
  3. Principle 4:
    I will engage in constructive criticism and dialogue with those in disagreement and will not engage in personal attacks or ad hominem arguments.
    The statement is critical and uses a strong analogy, which may not foster constructive dialogue or understanding. [-1]
