OpenAI said on Friday that it fired three safety researchers for a “breach of trust," defending the dismissals after the trio accused the company of putting its corporate interests before safety as the reason for removing them.
The ChatGPT maker said in a post on X that it “parted ways” with the researchers after an investigation found “they violated clear policies on handling sensitive information.”
The statement comes after the three researchers, Tomek Korbak, Jasmine Wang and Mikita Balesni, posted a letter to OpenAI’s various safety oversight groups detailing the circumstances around their firings and their concerns about AI.
Company who stole sum total of humanity’s knowledge concerned about rule breaking… these people are fucking insane.
Let’s see the evidence, but I’m going to believe the researchers first. They may have violated some rules, but I know OpenAI doesn’t give a shit about AI safety vs profits, so it’s very believable.
Hahah like OpenAI makes profits …
Not in real money. The power is still on, so something is going on.
Exactly. Bills are being paid and the lights are on. No profit on paper is not the same as you or I being broke and unable to pay utility bills.
Don’t worry everyone, they’ll police themselves.
