AI safety pro tip: When the flagship model you’re about to release on a predetermined day is dramatically outshined by your competitor’s second tier model, just pull it citing “alignment concerns” to avoid an embarrassing launch. Ideally you should do this a few days in advance to make it semi-believable and not look like you were racing a deadline that you’re just now realizing you won’t make, but the world is eating this stuff up like hotcakes now so it shouldn’t matter either way.
