Overall, I think this post offered the perfect, much, much needed counterpoint to Sam Altman’s recent post. To say that the rollout of GPT-powered Bing felt rushed, botched, and uncontrolled is putting it lightly. So while Mr. Altman, in his post, was focusing on generally well-intentioned principles of caution and other generally reassuring-sounding bits of phraseology, this post brings the spotlight back to what his actual actions and practical decisions were, right where it ought to be. Actions speak louder than words, I think they say—and they might even have a point.
