> OpenAI was much more than a job for us. Its mission has been central to our lives. Think about a time in history where this sentiment was considered normal. These people dedicated their lives to a corporation and now they're surprised to see the profit motive being prioritized over their own personal mission? It's increasingly difficult to take these ai security researchers seriously. The public is giving them a very generous benefit of the doubt at the moment. I'm personally quite salty about all of this, seeing how "normal people" mostly ignored or derided calls from climate researchers from the past 20 years. I have empathy for the folks getting fired and quitting in protest right now, but I don't find them to be very credible.

Despite being superficially very similar to Anthropic, OpenAI seems to consistently generate more drama. I'm not sure what this means, but I think it's significant.
