OpenAI confirms firing three employees over sensitive info policy breach, denies safety link
sjgadler · x · 2026-10-10
OpenAI's research leaders published a statement confirming the company parted ways with Jasmine, Mikita, and Tomek last week after an internal investigation found they violated clear policies on handling sensitive information, citing "a significant breach of trust" beyond what their public letter described. The statement insists the decision was not about raising safety concerns. Critics like peterwildeford point out the statement names no one and specifies no policy or breach — and even the fired employees say they don't know what it refers to — making OpenAI's "not about safety" claim cold comfort.
