A spat is brewing in AI safety circles: Quintin Pope called it "wildly irresponsible" to claim without evidence that OpenAI stole private user chat data for its NS proof. Replying to the drama, observers connect it to Sebastian Bubeck's earlier "why would you ruin your career?" remark — any sane person would assume an evidence-free accusation like Buckmaster's could indeed end a career. The exchange highlights escalating accusations and counter-accusations within the AI safety community.
