The accused Sebastian Bubeck has denied the allegations on Twitter[0], and various other OpenAI employees[1,2] seem to be mocking another Anthropic employee voi

  The elves left a long time ago, it’s difficult to see much virtue in what remains.
• pdantix 18d ago
  i already have an extremely low view of openai and their staff, but this is lower than i thought they'd go
• Recursing 18d ago
  Wow this is just bullying, it's insane that we are letting these people be in charge of the transition
  • paxys 18d ago
    So someone can make public accusations of theft against you and if you publicly reply denying it you’re the bully?
    • traes 18d ago
      I would assume they are calling the snark from Noam Brown and Dan Roberts bullying, not the somewhat bland denial.
      • paxys 18d ago
        I read through those tweets, and can’t see the bullying everyone is referring to. Mind elaborating?
        • llelouch 18d ago
          They are mocking Sholto's support of Levent. I thought Noam Borwn would be above this but i think the cutlure withitn OpenAI encourages it.

            seems to me the Noam tweet was before the Sholto tweet? 2:47 am (eastern time for me) https://x.com/polynoamial/status/2097215233119211902 https://x.com/polynoamial/status/2097215233119211902 2:59 am https://x.com/_sholtodouglas/status/2097218331690578000/ https://x.com/_sholtodouglas/status/2097218331690578000/

    Certainly a sign of the emotional immaturity and low empathy that's rampant in posters on internet forums like Twitter. Poor reflection on OpenAI.

    the transition ... to domination by our new AI overlords?
  • dbuser99 17d ago
    I would imagine these folks are being treated like gods at their companies. And having access to all the money/fame. It is not surprising they see themselves above all
• mitchellgoffpc 18d ago
  I assume this will make more sense in the morning, right now I’m just extremely confused. Noam never struck me as the type to be snarky like this.
• andrewchambers 18d ago
  if I look at the timestamps, it appears Sholto is the one mocking Noams tweet... Noam posted first.
  • paxys 18d ago
    Doesn’t matter. People’s minds are already made up, and facts aren’t getting in the way.

    Douglas' 6:59 AM UTC post is edited. He has a 6:22 AM UTC post that predates Brown's 6:47 AM UTC post: https://xcancel.com/_sholtodouglas/status/2097209005567598741 https://xcancel.com/_sholtodouglas/status/209720900556759874... Also note the lower post ID in the URL.

  Interesting that both said “more tomorrow”. If someone accused me of something I didn’t do I’d be pretty clear about it right away. If I needed to get my story straight, well, it might take a little time and coordination…
• frabcus 18d ago
  Dan and Noam both posted exactly the same line "Seb is a really sweet guy with great intentions..." From which I assume OpenAI PR wrote it for them. Which isn't surprising, but means it isn't worth taking seriously as them saying anything. It's official OpenAI PR.
  • burkaman 18d ago
    No, they use that wording because they are mocking this tweet from an Anthropic employee: https://xcancel.com/_sholtodouglas/status/2097218331690578000 https://xcancel.com/_sholtodouglas/status/209721833169057800.... I don't know why.
    • daquisu 18d ago
      That is even worse. Back to 5th grade I guess
      • cloche 17d ago
        Look at the President and the US government. This is society now.
• brcmthrowaway 18d ago
  I hope they mock Sholto. Dude is an absolute podcast grifter/booster.
