🤖 AI To Displacing 50% Jobs by 2027

OpenAI

Well, well, it seems the folks over at OpenAI just can't stay out of the gossip pages!

Those two ex-board members who tried to give the boot to CEO Sam Altman last year? They're back for round two!

Helen Toner and Tasha McCauley are doubling down, claiming Altman's behavior is a "recipe for AGI disaster."

Oooh, sounds serious! Apparently, multiple OpenAI leaders accused Altman of running a "toxic culture of lying" and acting like a straight-up bully. No wonder they wanted him gone!

Toner and McCauley say OpenAI can't keep itself in check with Altman calling the shots. With all the recent scandals - from people quitting over safety concerns to that Scarlett Johansson voice-stealing drama - these two board rebels might just be onto something.

This OpenAI telenovela is getting juicier by the day!
Grab some popcorn, folks, because this saga is far from over.
