This might be the messiest AI drama yet 🥴

Allegedly, a top researcher left OpenAI for Mira Murati’s (ex-OpenAI CTO) new startup, then got fired for "unethical conduct", and THEN was immediately re-hired by OpenAI on the SAME DAY.

Barrett Zoff, CTO at AI startup Thinking Machines (founded by former OpenAI CTO Mira Murati), was fired for unethical conduct and immediately rehired by OpenAI the same day. Sources suggest Zoff may have been passing confidential information to competitors, leading to speculation he acted as a "double agent" feeding Thinking Machines' information back to OpenAI. OpenAI stated they don't share the concerns that led to his firing, though details remain unconfirmed rumors.
