  An incredible article on so many levels.

  1. That they have built such a system based on Llama

  2. That OpenAI has a “principal investigator” (with a hilarious picture)

  3. That OpenAI can monitor what type of software people are building, when they use Copilot/ChatGPT etc..

  Where did they say this? No linked sources. (Edit: just posted on their site - Disrupting malicious uses of AI https://openai.com/global-affairs/disrupting-malicious-uses-...)

  Also, is this some kind of passive 'blame Meta', 'vilify open source' campaign by OpenAI?

  Guess after DeepSeek-R1 using openai api's to distillate openAI models to train R1 they started looking more thoroughly into what their users are doing?
