This is a new quote from Sam Altman to Alex Heath saying that the reason OpenAI is slowing training is because its unreleased models are showing 'various degrees of misalignment'. They said in the blog that 'The signals we are seeing from upcoming model progress make clear that we need a broader approach' so this lines up, but this language is stronger than anything in the blog post.

What is the true reason for these pauses? Did they rehire Helen Toner and all the EA people that have been calling for a major slowdown/pause?

Whatever the reason, these tech bros have redirected hundred of billions of dollars that could have went into research into other paradigms, architectures, for AGI. If they do not deliver AGI by 2030, even the most pro AI people would be burning datacenters.
