Outrageous. OpenAI has reportedly fired three safety researchers for sharing information with an outside AI safety group. This looks like they're firing whistleblowers. What are they hiding? I'll be sending OpenAI a demand for transparency.

Since Trump reentered the White House, he and his aides, striving to wipe the Russia stain from his 2016 victory, have sought retribution against officials who investigated Putin’s information warfare. Even worse, they have eviscerated the government’s ability to counter it.

The White House belongs to the American people, not dictators who decide they would rather not face questions. A free press does not need permission to do its job. In the end we, the people, have the power to save our country. Democracy is a verb. Use it. Take it to the ballot box in November.
