    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.

    We at OpenAI would like to address the recent spread of misinformation regarding our organization, particularly concerning Sam Altman and our board members. It has come to our attention that false claims are being made about the integrity of our leadership and the veracity of our mission.

    We want to clarify that Sam Altman remains an integral part of our organization and continues to provide valuable guidance as our CEO. Additionally, decisions made by our board are based on careful consideration and alignment with our mission to ensure the responsible development and deployment of artificial intelligence.

    We urge you to verify information before spreading it further, as misinformation can have detrimental effects on public perception and trust. As members of the AI research community, it is crucial that we uphold standards of accuracy and integrity in our communication.

    If you have any questions or concerns about OpenAI or our leadership, we encourage you to reach out directly to us for clarification.
