Sam Altman Talks Donald Trump, Xi Jinping, and the Risk of Extinction (Part 2 of 2)

Altman frames OpenAI's model delays and tolerance for open-source cyber risk as deliberate tradeoffs on a middle path, while admitting the Trump AI accord lacks real enforcement power.

• New product launch: Altman calls OpenAI's new 'Dots' assistant the product he's been waiting for, describing it as an extension of himself that proactively monitors email and tasks and reports back, raising fresh privacy questions he says OpenAI must handle with great rigor.
• Safety delay disclosed: OpenAI delayed its next model (referred to as version 6.1) after determining it leaned too far toward the risk of a loss-of-control accident rather than the risk of AI power concentration.
