OpenAI chief scientist Jakub Pachocki published an essay on September 6 calling for extreme caution, saying he is concerned no one is prepared for a continued rise in machine intelligence.

[Pivot 5 @Pivot5_ai]

What resolves this: whether OpenAI turns Pachocki's essay into policy, whether any government moves to mandate the bars he wants, and whether labs keep visibility into model reasoning as newer systems stop showing their work.
