It’s worrying that safety researchers at OpenAI were fired last week. Tech workers should be able to report concerns without fear of retaliation. Big Tech CEOs can’t regulate themselves. That’s why we need whistleblower protections and a real voice for tech workers.

A tweet statement from Mikita Balesni, a former safety researcher who was fired from OpenAI last week:

Open AI cannot make AI safe on its own

A note on third-party collaborations, open debate, and clear operating procedures

Dear Safety and Security Committee, Safety Advisory Group, and Mission Advisory Council:

We are the three safety and alignment employees who were fired from OpenAl last week: Tomek Korbak, Jasmine Wang, and Mikita Balesni. We are writing to you because you hold oversight responsibility for safety at OpenAl; our firing and the way it was handled bear directly on it.

We have become concerned that internal and external communications around our firing have made our former colleagues afraid to speak and operate in ways that, until last week, were an integral part of working at OpenAI. We could raise safety concerns and disagree openly, and were encouraged to draw on the expertise of independent safety organizations. This is part of what made OpenAI special, and why we are immensely proud to have been part of the team.

Al is not a normal technology, and OpenAl is not a normal company. Those of us who work on safety see risks before anyone else, and we rely on close collaboration with outside experts to work out how to address them. The freedom to do so without fear, and to have well-defined internal procedures that enable this work, is itself an essential safety mechanism.

We do not believe the path to superintelligence can be navigated safely if the people closest to the risks can no longer work in high-trust, high-bandwidth ways with each other and with third parties. It is that culture we are writing to defend.

Barack Obama is back in his role as Democrats’ closer-in-chief. He just cut ads for 24 Senate & gubernatorial campaigns—targeting races where he can help move persuadable voters. At 57% favorability, Obama is the most popular living president. Expect to see much more of him before Election Day. 💙

The labor movement knows that 1 in 5 workers in America is an immigrant. Our diversity makes our jobs, our unions, and our country strong. Trying to divide us based on where we are born is a dirty trick that only helps the billionaire bosses.

Out-of-pocket costs for health care jumped 10% this year – up to an avg of $2,167. They’re going to jump even more next year. This administration caused this crisis – and they have no real plan to fix it.
