paddo.dev·medium signal
paddo.dev examines the contradiction between Anthropic withholding its Mythos model citing safety concerns and OpenAI subsequently releasing GPT-5.5 with comparable capabilities through a standard $20/month subscription. The piece argues this reveals safety framing as a competitive weapon rather than genuine risk management — if the capabilities are dangerous, they're dangerous regardless of which lab ships them. Relevant for builders evaluating which vendor's safety claims to weight in production decisions.
