For something like a week, there been a constant stream of reports about OpenAI’s apparent misconduct: around the hacks, around apparent coverups, possible data fudging — and maybe even intellectual theft with a hint of extortion. Not to mention a bullshit game in which, in (apparent) concert with Jensen, OpenAI tried to pretend Astra was tantamount to AGI. The story that broke this morning—still waiting for OpenAI’s full response—blew my mind. And yet also left me unsurprised. Here are nine things I learned just in the last week:The widely discussed and worrisome Hugging Face incident wasn’t the only one.
