Leaked OpenAI documents reveal aggressive tactics toward former employees

>>apengw+(OP)
The amount [and scale] of practices, chaos and controversies caused by OpenAI since ChatGPT was released are "on par" with the powerful products it has built since.. in a negative way!

These are the hottest controversial events so far, in a chronological order:

  OpenAI's deviation from its original mission (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34979981).
  The Altman's Saga (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38309611).
  The return of Altman (within a week) (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38375239).
  Musk vs. OpenAI (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39559966). 
  The departure of high-profile employees (Karpathy: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39365935 ,Sutskever: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40361128).
  "Why can’t former OpenAI employees talk?" (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40393121).

Why is AI so dramatic? I just watched mean girls and this is worse.

I work for a tech startup doing communication and mkt. I'm sick of engineers sucking Sam's dick and believing every demo they watch. Even after seeing what Altman's is capable of perform in the stage. I'm also sick of the scene trying to sell "AI" (whatever that means) next to everything. We even go out of our way to promise stupid impossible stuff when we talk about multimodal or generative... It doesn't matter, it needs to sell.

Just to give a sickening example, I was approached by the CEO to fix a very bad deepfake video that some "AI" Engineer made with tools available. They requested me to use After Effects and editing to make the lips sync....

On top of that, this industry is driving billions of investment into something that is probably the death sentence for a lot of workers, cultures, and society, and that is not fixing or helping in ANY other way to our current world problems.
