I'm not sure OpenAI compares to Enron or FTX in terms of unethical behaviour or financial fraud. The only similarities might be, funnily enough, disfunctional boards (or in FTX's case, no board).

No one thought anything was wrong at Enron or FTX until there was.

If OpenAI gets as far with AI as they want to, then it is absolutely imperative that nobody there is accidentally leaning on the scales, let alone actually doing anything (even something minor) with selfish intent.

Even if they're "just another tech firm", that's still enough for them to be another Facebook with the Cambridge Analytica and Rohingya scandals, and many people would like to make sure such things don't repeat.

We should feel great that they now have a competent board that will make sure of that.

Nobody should feel great about the situation at OpenAI.

Especially with all of the people leaving and publicly criticising the companies trust and safety stance.

The models get red-teamed, do the corporate structures?

[borski]

Yet.
