Editor's Synopsis
Noah Smith highlights what he calls a "HUGE messaging pivot" from OpenAI and the broader AI industry. He notes that for many years, replacing humanity was the explicitly stated goal of OpenAI as a company and many top figures in the AI sector. Smith expresses that he is glad to see this rhetorical shift away from that framing, suggesting the industry is now adopting messaging that moves away from the notion of human replacement. The post implies a linked source (likely an OpenAI statement or announcement) that demonstrates this change in tone, though the specific content of the linked material is not included in the archived page.
