ANOTHER OPENAI RESEARCHER QUITS, ISSUING CRYPTIC WARNING - MAGGIE HARRISON DUPRÉ, the Byte

In a thread posted this week to X-formerly-Twitter, former OpenAI policy researcher Gretchen Kreuger announced her departure, writing that this "was not an easy decision to make." And while the ex-OpenAIer didn't quite go into detail — can't imagine why not! — about the forces that made her make that difficult choice, she did offer a cryptic warning about the lack of oversight within the AI industry and why it matters. "We need to do more to improve foundational things," Kreuger wrote, "like decision-making processes; accountability; transparency; documentation; policy enforcement; the care with which we use our own technology; and mitigations for impacts on inequality, rights, and the environment."
