What Hacker News says?
Nonetheless, there are great articles up on there, such as: https://institute.deepmind.com/essays/the-case-for-reasoning... (Hiding chains of thought is one of the most harmful things I think OAI/Anthr. has done, altough Google Gemini also encrypts its chains of thought, so it's interesting to see the DeepMind Institute crticising this.)
