Comment on OpenAI have no mathematicians capable of understanding what they put out

Can anyone explain to me why Tristan simply didn't go to settings page and turn off the thing? Especially when Levent was collaborating with him and Levent is completely aware of how the training data is used and the implications thereby?

If it is oversight, then that's ok and OpenAI can volunteer to make him the lead author which they did. But he's pissed that OpenAI is not letting Levent as well, who had access to internal Anthropic models. So this guy thinks

1. oh my bad i forgot to turn off the consent thing in settings page

2. also i'll collaborate with a literal Anthropic employee who has access to their internal models

3. i'll also reject OpenAI's deal to be the lead author because i want an employee of the competitor to be a part of it

I don't get the mindset.

companies famously always honor those settings!

Maybe they were fine with contributing training data when their threat model didn't include the case of "OpenAI gets wind of our research and attempts to front-run us"?

this is an effective way to stop OpenAI from doing anything, just flood it with your attempts.
