Safety from AGI, sure. But I've could argue there will still be safety concerns from the deepfakes and scams OpenAI's tech is sure to proliferate
It's like taking a star NFL/NBA team and sending them to play a season of exhibition games in a foreign market instead of continuing to compete in the peak league of their sport.
Those will happen whether or not you have a safety team. The best way to protect against these is to widely distribute deep fakes of famous people so everyone is aware that faking things is possible.
And there are already open source LLMs that can be trained to scam a significant number of people. OpenAI can't do anything about it.
The only remedy is social media warning people.
