    I would have stuck it out and made sure I had plenty of cans of beans in my office.

    We do what we must because we can. For the good of all of us…

    Don’t they sign pretty thick and explicit NDAs when they work at and leave OpenAI some serious shit must have happened.

    Unless those safety researchers were also part of the team trying to oust Altman for being a creep ass then it makes perfect sense. But it doesn’t sound like that was the case here.

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    Two of OpenAI’s founders, CEO Sam Altman and President Greg Brockman, are on the defensive after a shake-up in the company’s safety department this week.

    Sutskever and Leike led OpenAI’s super alignment team, which was focused on developing AI systems compatible with human interests.

    “I have been disagreeing with OpenAI leadership about the company’s core priorities for quite some time, until we finally reached a breaking point,” Leike wrote on X on Friday.

    But as public concern continued to mount, Brockman offered more details on Saturday about how OpenAI will approach safety and risk moving forward — especially as it develops artificial general intelligence and builds AI systems that are more sophisticated than chatbots.

    But not everyone is convinced that the OpenAI team is moving ahead with development in a way that ensures the safety of humans, least of all, it seems, the people who, up to a few days ago, led the company’s effort in that regard.

    Axel Springer, Business Insider’s parent company, has a global deal to allow OpenAI to train its models on its media brands’ reporting.
