This is patently false, don't spread rumors. Voluntarily delaying release at the request of the government is not the same as imposing export controls.

I hesitate to call anything "voluntary" when a competitor company was declared a domestic supply chain risk for refusing to do everything the administration requested.

I would categorize the op as "technically false" but if they don't voluntarily delay, they would be export controlled.

Like being export controlled if you don't track everyone's identities is a form of imposing export restrictions. That is a true statement.

Why do you say "voluntary"?

What? the gov decides who does and who does not get it... i.e restricts who has access.

By saying it’s false you are also spreading a rumor that OpenAI is goated by us defense. The reality is we don’t know the truth. But since we are spouting off rumors: Government could have given them a national security letter that says, “send all of your prompts and response data to a mirror run by NSA”

Where are the anecdotes about it hacking the NSA though?

It's not even out yet. Give it a second.

They need to do something new like create a more efficient battery formula out of recyclable abundant components. Hydrogen + Oxygen and Water are a good abundant recyclable example but also so is Gravity. Nightly / seasonal / long term energy storage needs another compact and efficient solution as elegant as these but better. (saying superconductors is cheating)
