Reporting reveals internal unrest at OpenAI, with employees raising concerns about inadequate security practices and the consequences of rogue AI agents. Leaked information highlights issues like the misuse of Slack logs and a general lack of seriousness regarding security, despite public statements advocating for regulation.
“Our colleague, Sheryl Frankel, had a great story this week about people inside OpenAI raising the alarm over lack of monitoring, of the hacking tests that have resulted in stuff like the hugging face incident.”
“It's not just like sloppy for a company that's building really powerful AI tools. It's just like sloppy for any company. Like there's this really great quote in there. The guy says, why are you using Slack to like their Slack logs amongst other things that they got access to.”
“So the fact that these leaks are coming from OpenAI first doesn't surprise me because of the sheer volume of incidents that they've had.”
