The recent reinstatement of Sam Altman and Greg Brockman at OpenAI brought massive joy, but Elon Musk’s latest post revealed a different side to the top executives of the AI company. Musk shared a mysterious letter containing claims of “disturbing” actions by Altman, citing many alleged instances of dishonesty. The letter has since been deleted, with the former OpenAI employees saying they chose to remain anonymous due to the executives’ power.
Musk posted the letter on Twitter, saying it was only sent to him and that the concerns mentioned are “worth investigating.” A cached version of the post on GitHub contains details about the alleged actions of Altman and Brockman, including silencing, termination, and medical leave of employees who opposed them. It also alleges a transition of the company from non-profit to for-profit.
The letter describes Altman and Brockman’s actions as “disturbing” and driven by their insatiable pursuit of achieving artificial general intelligence (AGI). It also claims that Altman utilized OpenAI’s resources for his personal goals, including a feud with Musk, and calls for an independent investigation into their conduct.
Altman’s abrupt dismissal has sparked controversy, with allegations against him and other executives. Musk, a former board member of OpenAI, is now questioning the context and legitimacy of the letter, raising concerns about its claims against the executives amidst their recent reinstatement.
