The New Yorker has published an enormous feature about OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and his disputed trustworthiness, citing more than one person who has accused the generative AI mogul of habitual dishonesty.
The 16,000 word article (available online or in The New Yorker's latest print edition) adds new context to a number of widely-reported episodes from Altman's career, including his 2023 ousting from OpenAI and return, his beef with Elon Musk, and the disintegration of his persona as a humanity-first AI safety advocate, which strained credulity from the start and is now especially comical in juxtaposition with his current role as a profit-seeking Trump ally who recently signed a deal with the US Department of War.
