OpenAI Fires Three Safety Researchers
OpenAI safety researcher Jasmine Wang says she and two safety colleagues were fired last week, cited for accessing an executive's email.
Original post
OpenAI fired me last week, along with two of my safety colleagues. I was given one reason: that I accessed an executive's email. I want to say this plainly, because too many of OpenAI’s history is smoke and mirrors when people disappear:Quoting @balesni: Two other safety researchers and I were fired from OpenAI last week. We wrote this letter to leadership.
I believe we were fired for prioritizing safety over the near-term interests of OpenAI as a corporation. https://t.co/ALANn9B87S
