    Used to work as human data trainer feeding data to AI companies. OpenAI projects are definitely the most toxic ones.

      Why does every 'safety' critique about AI companies end up being completely vague like this.

        Because of NDAs

          Throwaway accounts exist, and reporters will also talk to sources under confidentiality.

          If you really want the world to know how bad working for OpenAI is (whether is the commenter or the person who wrote the article), there are ways to do that.

            Nobody will risk the equity this "close" to IPO. Afterwards there will be a race to public books and talk to the press, but before? Ha.
