Report: AI 2027 author Daniel Kokotajlo staked his OpenAI equity, promising not to criticize OpenAI

sjgadler alleges that Daniel Kokotajlo, ex-OpenAI researcher and lead author of AI 2027, staked (not sold) his equity in order to write AI 2027 itself — with the condition of not criticizing OpenAI and not telling anyone he'd made that promise. The claim reopens questions about the report's independence.
