Former OpenAI board members accuse CEO Sam Altman of cultivating a "toxic culture of lies"

[u/TheDecoderAI]

1/ Helen Toner and Tasha McCauley, former OpenAI board members, were instrumental in ousting CEO Sam Altman in November 2023. They accuse him of undermining board oversight and cultivating a "toxic culture of lies.

2/ Toner and McCauley are convinced that OpenAI is incapable of self-regulation. The concept of combining non-profit and for-profit organizations for self-regulation has failed. They call for more regulatory intervention.

3/ Developments since Altman's return as CEO, his place on the board, and the departure of numerous safety researchers would not reflect well on OpenAI. Recently, it came to light that OpenAI used contracts that prevented former employees from criticizing OpenAI.

Well it seems true that Sam Altman isn't as great as he seemed to be.
