I disagree with the headline:

"Therefore, if a value-aligned, safety-conscious project comes close to building AGI before we do, we commit to stop competing with and start assisting this project."

I claim that currently no "value-aligned, safety-conscious project comes close to building AGI", both for the reasons

- "value-aligned, safety-conscious" and

- "close to building AGI".

So, based on this charter, OpenAI has no reason to surrender the race.
