OpenAI's rapid release cycle introduces new risks weekly, says former safety lead

David Robinson noted that OpenAI can now update models more frequently by layering improvements like reasoning training and new tools onto existing base models, rather than requiring extensive retraining. This accelerated pace means that significant changes, including potential risks, are being shipped much faster than in the past, with the base model no longer being the sole component of a release.
