Honestly, I’m fairly sceptical of the ethical guidelines OpenAI has been operating under. What they’ve built is noteworthy. Yet it seems to have been done by cutting significant corners. Which is problematic on many levels.
The fact that the employees wanted their leader to return is meaningless, when they were making that judgement without knowledge of the substance behind his dismissal.
