To the question, how do OpenAI’s demonstrations of scaled up versions of current models affect AI safety?, I don’t think much changes? It does seem that OpenAI is aiming to go beyond simple scaling, which seems much riskier.
As to the general question, certainly that news makes me more worried about the state of things. I know way too little about the decision to be more concrete than that.
