CORRECTED REUTERS EXCLUSIVE: OpenAI Researchers Warned Board of AI Breakthrough Ahead of CEO Ouster -Sources
Ahead of OpenAI CEO Sam Altman’s four days in exile, several staff researchers sent the board of directors a letter warning of a powerful artificial intelligence discovery that they said could threaten humanity, two people familiar with the matter told Reuters.
The previously unreported letter and AI algorithm was a catalyst that caused the board to oust Altman, the poster child of generative AI, the two sources said. Before his triumphant return late Tuesday, more than 700 employees had threatened to quit and join backer Microsoft (MSFT.O) in solidarity with their fired leader.
The sources cited the letter as one factor among a longer list of grievances by the board that led to Altman’s firing. Reuters was unable to review a copy of the letter. The researchers who wrote the letter did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
OpenAI declined to comment.
According to one of the sources, long-time executive Mira Murati mentioned the project, called Q*, to employees on Wednesday and said that a letter was sent to the board prior to this weekend's events...
The maker of ChatGPT had made progress on Q* (pronounced Q-Star), which some internally believe could be a breakthrough in the startup's search for superintelligence, also known as artificial general intelligence (AGI), one of the people told Reuters. OpenAI defines AGI as AI systems that are smarter than humans.

📁✡️ U.S. Special Envoy and Donald Trump's son-in-law, Jared Kushner linked to Israeli-American brothers convicted of sex trafficking.
Tal, Oren and Alon Alexander - recently found guilty in a major U.S. sex-trafficking case - had their surname redacted in the Epstein files, despite claims from Kash Patel that the files contained no evidence of trafficking. Rep. Thomas Massie later exposed the names.
In December 2020, the brothers attended Donald Trump’s White House Hanukkah celebration. Oren Alexander wrote in a now-deleted Instagram post:
“Spare your political views. The president just served us kosher food in his house and wished us a Happy Hanukkah.”
Photos from the event showed Tal and Oren posing inside the White House.
Their links to Trump-world extended beyond parties. Oren Alexander brokered the $24 million Indian Creek mansion purchased by Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump in 2021.
The brothers were also fixtures in elite Israeli and American networks. Seven years ago, ...
🇮🇷⚔️🛢 Iran’s Red Sea Escalation Options
Since US is bombing Iran from Saudi Arabia, a look at five escalatory options that will have economic impacts on KSA and further choke global oil & gas supplies.
Map shows three maritime chokepoints (nos. 1–3). Two down arrows (nos. 4–5) point to possible targets for Iranian missiles and/or drones.
1: Straits of Hormuz: sealed (pending liberation by USN and USMC)
2: Bab al-Mandab (“Gate of Tears”): can be sealed by Ansarullah (“Houthis”). This may lead CSG Ford and/or CSG Lincoln to fight Ansar, alleviating pressure on Iran. NB: oil carriers exiting Red Sea via Bab al-Mandab are destined for Asia and Africa (mostly allies);
3: Entry to Suez Canal: possible to target bulk carriers and freight carriers sailing toward, or passing through, the Suez Canal (1,350–1,450km depending on location of Iranian missile base). NB: oil carriers exiting Red Sea via Suez are destined for Europe (Iran’s enemies);
4: East-West ...
