The 3 safety researchers OpenAI fired just wrote a letter to OpenAI's board. basically saying “don’t make models that have hard-to-monitor reasoning.” but the letter reveals more detail about their firing: > they were allegedly fired for sharing sensitive information with external parties > but Korbak was OpenAI's contact for METR's Hugging Face hack investigation > Balesni was helping the board build an industry pledge on monitoring AI reasoning > both jobs meant constantly talking to outside groups > this was just weeks after Altman supported having outside evaluators > they say they never went beyond their job > and that the firings are “chilling everyone still at OpenAI” OpenAI says it had nothing to do with raising safety concerns.Read original on X
