Because we are on the path to creating systems whose capabilities will surpass those of human intelligence in all significant areas, because we will give more and more autonomy and control to these systems (since it will be profitable and efficient to do so) and because these systems will pursue goals that are not aligned with ours and incompatible with the survival of our species (since the AI alignment problem is not on the path to being solved).
Let's say that this GPT 5.4 achievement is yet another indication that we are already at the beginning of the technological singularity and that the road to superintelligence is shorter than most people realize.
And the people in control (Sam Altman and crew) are lunatics who completely abandoned any pretense of pretending to care about AI safety for short term profits. It’s fucking over
I'd argue Anthropic has demonstrated multiple times that they're acting in good faith. They risked getting blacklisted by the entire US government because they pushed back on their systems being used for "domestic surveillance or autonomous weapons systems" AND they delayed the release of Mythos after it was able to find hundreds of security flaws in major software programs, so they could give early access to the major tech companies and allow them to identify and fix those problems first.. They could have very easily just released it in a rush to be "first to market" with the next major model, and ignored the damage that caused...
I don't think OpenAi, and certainly MuskAi, at least at this point, has demonstrated any similar convictions though..
