Loose lips sink AI ships

OpenAI’s ship has sprung a leak, and it’s not just the whistleblowers who are getting wet. Current and former employees have come forward, spilling the tea on the company’s alleged prioritization of financial gains over safety.

Daniel Kokotajlo, a former OpenAI researcher, jumped ship, penning a dramatic resignation email that could rival any soap opera script.

The whistleblowers have also banded together, publishing an open letter that’s essentially a strongly worded “we need to talk” message to the AI industry.

Mo’ money, mo’ problems

OpenAI’s journey from nonprofit to “capped profit” has been a wild ride, complete with an $86 billion price tag that would make even the most seasoned Silicon Valley veteran blush.

But as the saying goes, more money often leads to more problems. Former board members Helen Toner and Tasha McCauley have sounded the alarm, warning that self-governance and profit incentives go together like oil and water.

To make matters worse, key safety team members have been jumping ship faster than you can say “danger, Will Robinson!”

Sam Altman: from golden boy to trouble magnet

Once hailed as the tech world’s golden boy, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has found himself in the hot seat lately.

From the Scarlett Johansson voice doppelganger debacle to reports of restrictive NDAs and questionable business dealings, Altman’s halo seems to be slipping.

Despite his attempts to win back the public’s affection by signing the Giving Pledge and securing a deal with Apple, Altman may need more than a few grand gestures to steer OpenAI back on course and restore his reputation as the benevolent visionary we once knew and loved.
