Also this month,two big names in the AI communitywho led a safety team within OpenAI quit.
AsEd Zitron writes, its becoming harder and harder to take OpenAI at face value.

OpenAI executives seemed to jokingly hint at the likeness around the launch.
Altman tweeted the wordheron that day.
OpenAIs Audio AGI Research Lead has ascreenshot from the film as his backgroundon X.
We all could see what OpenAI was going for.
Secondly, Johansson claims Altman approached her twice about voicing ChatGPTs audio assistant.
OpenAI says Sky was a different actor altogether, but the claim strikes many as disingenuous.

Just last week Sutskever and his co-lead ofSuperalignment, Leike, quit OpenAI.
Leike said Superalignments resources were being siphoned away to other parts of the company for months.
In March, Chief Technology Officer Mira Murati saidshe wasnt surewhether Sora was trained on YouTube videos.
This may be damaging OpenAIs reputation, but the mystery also works in OpenAIs favor.
Throughout the mystery, the company has continued to ship cutting-edge AI products.
