I like Simon, but he's not a journalist. A journalist would not have gone to OpenAI to glaze the GPT-5 release with Theo. I don't say this to discount Simon -- I appreciate his writing and analysis but a journalist, he isn't.
I don't call myself a journalist, partly because no publication is paying me to do any of this!
If I had an editor I imagine they would have talked me out of going to the OpenAI office for a mysterious product preview session with a film crew.
