   The WSJ says OpenAI is searching employees personal phones and looking through their Signal messages
   
   The firings of three OpenAI safety researchers came in the throes of a battle over how to keep AI systems under human control—and who gets to see the secret designs that could determine the winners of the biggest commercial race in history. on.wsj.com/48bYPG8 open on X

   Yep. Seems pretextual. Signal is pretty standard in AI industry in my experience and OpenAI autodeletes a lot of its own messages iirc. During the board crisis for example there was a lot of pro-sama organizing being done on signal.
   It sounds like OpenAI fired the three safety researchers because they used disappearing messages. It sounds like they weren't told not to; they were just fired without warning after the fact. Seems bad. open on X
