It's clear that the parent didn't bother to read the link they shared, which articulates exactly this. That's embarrassing.
From the link:

Many of the OpenAI employees who were focused on these risks in GPT-2 later founded Anthropic, notably Dario [1]. Since the beginning and continuing through today Anthropic describes itself as an "AI safety and research company" [2]
I'm not sure if the OpenAI of today has the same focus on safety, or if they do the minimum to not look irresponsible given Anthropic's effort.

Just to be clear: that is quoted text from the source and not a statement I'm making, in case that's what you're suggesting here.
