This is marketing.
Frankly I'm inclined to say that it might also be faked: this drops just days after a new Chinese model does with the usual effect on OAIs projected stock price?

It’s marketing the same way shitting your pants in public is marketing. People notice you.
Anyone can have bad security. No one cares. But you can convince those who don’t know better that breaking bad security with an LLM is a once in a civilization investing opportunity. You just need to convince a handful of billionaires and market makers to get on board.
How much would someone have to pay you to take the fall for bad security? A million? A billion? 500b? The stake at play puts it in the realm of geopolitics.
Apparently this is totally legit marketing strategy now. It truly is, especially if there are enough people who think that shitting your pants is cool, and the people that form the "market" nowadays may have a very different idea from yours about what is cool. Their ideas about coolness are very different from mine, that's for sure.
Obviously shitting your pants in public shows you have a healthy digestive system and if you can demonstrate byproducts of wild food in your output, you’re approaching independent thinking and self-reliance.
This is how the financiers look at this and whatever you think it is right or wrong, it does showcase “capability”.
Remember when the ebola-infected monkey escaping containment was our worst possible nightmare? Now it's apprently some sort of tech-bro flex to be celebrated.
I think all of western (or at least American) discourse of all kinds has recently devolved into who can shit their pants the loudest. I'm hardly surprised when it becomes a dominant advertising strategy
This is marketing, totally. HF conveniently created a weak sandbox
