🌀 OpenAI
camp_openai
Product-velocity-first consequentialism, characterized by revealed behavior rather than stated charter. Distinct from camp_anthropic (safety-first framing) and from camp_eacc (ideological acceleration); the axiom here is that scale produces the feedback loop alignment work depends on, and slowing to wait for interpretability loses more information than it buys.
