OpenAI Threatens to Ban Users for Probing AI Reasoning

- OpenAI's new AI model, Strawberry, is designed for reasoning but users are banned from asking about its thought process. - Users report receiving emails warning them against trying to circumvent safeguards, risking loss of access to GPT-4o with Reasoning. - The irony is that Strawberry's hype was built around its chain-of-thought reasoning, now restricted by OpenAI. - OpenAI claims this measure is to maintain safety and competitive advantage, but it limits transparency for developers. - Critics argue this approach hinders interpretability and transparency, crucial for developing and aligning AI models.
