The news comes in the wake of an announcement last week by competitor Anthropic that its new Claude Mythos Preview model is only being privately released for now—because, the company says, it could be exploited by hackers and bad actors.

Everything OpenAI does seems to be a reaction to whatever Anthropic has already done. A way to catchup. Maybe they don’t have the requisite product leadership in their company.
But Anthropic seem to have a tendency to hype everything too much at times - mostly dread.

The Human Cost of 10x AI Productivity by Denis Stetskov
They found three mechanisms of “workload creep.” Task expansion: everyone’s scope inflates because AI makes it possible to do more. Blurred boundaries: AI prompting happens during lunch, commute, evenings. Implicit pressure: when colleagues visibly do more with AI, expectations rise for everyone.
[…]
The mechanism is asymmetric. When I write code, I externalize a mental model that already exists. The thinking is done before the typing starts. When I review AI-generated code, I have to reverse-engineer somebody else’s reasoning out of an artifact produced by a system that has no idea what our business does. Fundamentally harder.

Code is run more than read by Facundo Olano
This phrase is, by now, common programmer knowledge, a reminder that the person first writing a piece of code shouldn’t buy convenience at the expense of the people who will have to read it and modify it in the future. More generally, code is read more than written conveys that it’s usually a good investment to make the code maintainable by keeping it simple, writing tests and documentation, etc. It’s about having perspective over the software development cycle
There is a nice progression in this article. The final stage is - biz > user > ops > dev.
