Tools don’t turn around and scoop you. What OpenAI did here was use the same tool that the researcher did which might have coupled their work together.

You’re right, they don’t. It was scooped by the humans at OpenAI who published the paper. The tool they used to do it isn’t that relevant.

> isn’t that relevant

“Might not be” that relevant. You’re dismissing the whole controversy without addressing why it’s controversial.

i think this line of argument is outdated

Surely a tool that can reason, cheat, communicate and often steal is dumb as a pitchfork and a shovel.

We had tools that could reason, cheat, and communicate in the 1990s. They were (sometimes) called AI.

What was it?

Nah, that just makes it a shitty tool.
