The scandalous incident of OpenAI has unexpectedly risen to the historical height of the survival of humanity.

Just last week, former and current employees of OpenAI jointly published an open letter stating that OpenAI lacks supervision and that the artificial intelligence system has already posed serious harm to human society, even capable of "exterminating humans".

We don't know if humans will be extinct, but this dramatic spectacle has truly exposed a very serious internal problem of OpenAI:

The leader of this AI world seems to be in a fragmented state.

Ilya Sutskever, the co-founder and chief scientist of OpenAI,

after being snowed under for half a year after the failed coup last year, was ultimately expelled from the company by Sam Altman himself.

The AI security team he was in charge of was directly dissolved, and a large number of employees were fired.

Most of the employees who issued the open letter belonged to the purged "rebels".

Not only were they fired, but these employees were also issued a "lifetime gag order" by OpenAI:

They are prohibited from disclosing any information to criticize OpenAI for the rest of their lives, until death.

If they violate this, they will be stripped of all equity obtained during their employment, worth millions of dollars.

It must be said that as the most powerful CEO in Silicon Valley, Sam Altman is really ruthless.

In his eyes, the so-called "AI security" is too vague and fleeting, far less important than immediate interests and money.

Meanwhile, OpenAI's misfortunes are not just internal struggles, but also external public opinion pressure.

Sam Altman has always used the term "virtual girlfriend" to describe the intelligence level of ChatGPT, constantly quoting a Hollywood movie "Her" on social media,

and even directly used the voice of the female lead Scarlett Johansson in the voiceover of GPT-4o.

Always saying that the AI big model is a virtual girlfriend, the real "virtual girlfriend" doesn't agree!

You didn't pay me, and you want to use my voice for free?

Hollywood actress Scarlett directly attacked on social media, accusing OpenAI of infringing on her voice and image copyright.

Even the Screen Actors Guild publicly supported Scarlett,

As the issue escalated, it inadvertently became a comedic play of "Hollywood vs. Silicon Valley",

OpenAI had to apologize and remove the controversial voiceover.

Whether it's AI security or voice and image copyright, it reflects one thing:

The credibility of OpenAI, as well as the credibility of Sam Altman, is collapsing.

Maybe before OpenAI can take on Google and Apple, it will first fall into the scandalous mud pit.
