At OpenAI, alarm bells came from three different employees this week:
A researcher quit after two years due to “deep reservations” about ChatGPT’s new ad strategy, namely “a potential for manipulating users,” she wrote in an essay for the New York Times.
A top safety executive was fired after opposing the upcoming release of AI erotica on ChatGPT, the Wall Street Journal reported. OpenAI said she was canned for sexually discriminating against a male coworker, which she called “absolutely false.”
In a post on X that alluded to widespread job loss, an engineer wrote, “I finally feel the existential threat that AI is posing.”
