My understanding of their rationale for the disclosure policy is that while this model might not necessarily be so incredibly dangerous,
1) There was a non-zero chance that their releasing it would do more harm than good by making things like fake news, spam, and sock puppeting cheaper and more scalable, and
2) It's very likely that eventually they or others will develop more unambiguously dangerous models, and it's valuable to begin experimenting with responsible disclosure policies now so we're better prepared.
Perhaps some here would disagree with the premise of (2), that it's possible for a model to be dangerous. I can understand that.
Working in the field, and having been exposed to many of the same arguments that are likely informing OpenAI's concern, I think it's valid. Valid enough at least that I'm prepared to believe that OpenAI is acting in good faith, and that the disclosure policy is not "just marketing".
