Huge repository of information about OpenAI and Altman just dropped — 'The OpenAI Files'.

There's so much crazy shit in there. Here's what Claude highlighted to me:

1. Altman listed himself as Y Combinator chairman in SEC filings for years — a total fabrication (?!):

"To smooth his exit [from YC], Altman proposed he move from president to chairman. He pre-emptively published a blog post on the firm's website announcing the change.

But the firm's partnership had never agreed, and the announcement was later scrubbed from the post."

"...Despite the retraction, Altman continued falsely listing himself as chairman in SEC filings for years, despite never actually holding the position."

(WTAF.)

2. OpenAI's profit cap was quietly changed to increase 20% annually — at that rate it would exceed $100 trillion in 40 years. The change was not disclosed and OpenAI continued to take credit for its capped-profit structure without acknowledging the modification.

3. Despite claiming to Congress he has "no equity in OpenAI," Altman held indirect stakes through Sequoia and Y Combinator funds.

4. Altman owns 7.5% of Reddit — when Reddit announced its OpenAI partnership, Altman's net worth jumped $50 million. Altman invested in Rain AI, then OpenAI signed a letter of intent to buy $51 million of chips from them.

5. Rumours suggest Altman may receive a 7% stake worth ~$20 billion in the restructured company.

5. OpenAI had a major security breach in 2023 where a hacker stole AI technology details but didn't report it for over a year. OpenAI fired Leopold Aschenbrenner explicitly because he shared security concerns with the board.

6. Altman denied knowing about equity clawback provisions that threatened departing employees' millions in vested equity if the ever criticised OpenAI. But Vox found he personally signed the documents authorizing them in April 2023. These restrictive NDAs even prohibited employees from acknowledging their existence.

7. Senior employees at Altman's first startup Loopt twice tried to get the board to fire him for "deceptive and chaotic behavior".

9. OpenAI's leading researcher Ilya Sutskever told the board: "I don't think Sam is the guy who should have the finger on the button for AGI".

Sutskever provided the board a self-destructing PDF with Slack screenshots documenting "dozens of examples of lying or other toxic behavior.

10. Mira Murati (CTO) said: "I don't feel comfortable about Sam leading us to AGI"

11. The Amodei siblings described Altman's management tactics as "gaslighting" and "psychological abuse".

12. At least 5 other OpenAI executives gave the board similar negative feedback about Altman.

13. Altman owned the OpenAI Startup Fund personally but didn't disclose this to the board for years. Altman demanded to be informed whenever board members spoke to employees, limiting oversight.

14. Altman told board members that other board members wanted someone removed when it was "absolutely false". An independent review after Altman's firing found "many instances" of him "saying different things to different people"

15. OpenAI required employees to waive their federal right to whistleblower compensation. Former employees filed SEC complaints alleging OpenAI illegally prevented them from reporting to regulators.

16. While publicly supporting AI regulation, OpenAI simultaneously lobbied to weaken the EU AI Act.

By 2025, Altman completely reversed his stance, calling the government approval he once advocated "disastrous" and OpenAI now supports federal preemption of all state AI safety laws even before any federal regulation exists.

Obviously this is only a fraction of what's in the apparently 10,000 words on the site. Link below if you'd like to look over.

(I've skipped over the issues with OpenAI's restructure which I've written about before already, but in a way that's really the bigger issue.)

@tyschmit How many interceptions are we up to now?

@tyschmit What'd i say? Wild shiiite today, son!

@elonmusk @DOGE Schumer is scared to death that he's gonna be exposed and wind up in jail. So many corrupt politicians have abused the taxpayer for soooo long that they don't even see it as a problem (and that's not a one-sided affair).

[Chris Williams @cwilly66]

@house_of_trad @LibertyCappy I don't classify ppl by a point in time photo...that makes no sense. I've plenty of photos that could paint me in a negative light, if only considering that one source.

[Chris Williams @cwilly66]

@SectionVR @PopBase The government said they don't care. They'll say, "you knew this was coming, you should have archived your data.". They'll make it your fault.

[Chris Williams @cwilly66]

@elonmusk I want to know the thought between each of those eyes blinks.

[Chris Williams @cwilly66]

@CharlieKNews You don't think they already have a loophole in case other loop holes get closed. They'll find a way, the corrupt ones, cause they don't care about our laws and rules, they live by their own.

[Chris Williams @cwilly66]

@XisElonGated @ElonClipsX But, again, that's why community notes are important. It lets anyone contribute to the facts. It's why Facebook is choosing to implement that model. We can agree to disagree. I respect your opinion. I just don't share it.

[Chris Williams @cwilly66]

@bennyjohnson That sucks for all involved. Hope loss of human/animal life is minimal. I also hope this will spawn ideas of how to better prepare the area for a reduction or elimination of these events. Brush clearing, Forest Management, fresh water supply and storage, etc.

[Chris Williams @cwilly66]

@XisElonGated @ElonClipsX I hear you, but 'based around people's engagement time' is a people/behavioral problem. If it matters, and they want more details, they can engage with the content to get any clarifications. That's the whole point, to clarify assertions as more ppl engage with the content.

[Chris Williams @cwilly66]

@XisElonGated @ElonClipsX That seems like a people problem, not an Elon, X or Community Notes problem. Truth seekers have to travel farther in search of knowledge. If a being stops at the idea they like first, true or false as it may be, that being doesn't want THE truth. That being wants THEIR truth.

[colts crusade @coltscrusade]

@PatMcAfeeShow Had this little banger made for this occasion.

[Chris Williams @cwilly66]

@LeadingReport It'd be great if they would have that same fervor for winning for the people rather than focusing on beating one party or another. This goes for ALL sides of the political spectrum. And please quit trying to shove stuff you know the people would not want into these CRs/bills.
