This is especially embarrassing given how low the floor SB 53 sets is: basically just adopt a voluntary safety plan of your choice and communicate honestly about it, changing it as needed, but not violating or lying about it.

Quote attributed to Tyler Johnston (founder of the Midas Project, AI safety watchdog): "This is especially embarrassing given how low the floor SB 53 sets is: basically just adopt a voluntary safety plan of your choice and communicate honestly about it, changing it as needed, but not violating or lying about it." The Fortune source URL (2026-02-10, on OpenAI/GPT-5.3-Codex allegedly violating California's SB 53) returned HTTP 403 to direct fetch, but web search confirmed the quote verbatim from that exact Fortune article — Johnston characterized OpenAI's alleged SB 53 violation as "especially embarrassing given how low the floor SB 53 sets is: basically just adopt a voluntary safety plan of your choice and communicate honestly about it, changing it as needed, but not violating or lying about it." Author attribution correct (Midas Project founder/ED). Source is the primary Fortune article. Year 2026 correct and relevant. Vote alignment: Johnston is an AI safety advocate criticizing a lab for failing to honor even minimal safety/transparency requirements; this supports the "for" vote on "Require AI labs to publish safety evaluations before deploying frontier models."
