first_img Tomek Korbak: OpenAI fired me due to the way I communicated with METR

Former OpenAI employee Tomek Korbak posted on X that last week he was called in to meet with OpenAI's head of security, who stated that they no longer trusted him. Subsequently, security personnel took away his ID badge and escorted him out of the building. He also learned that colleagues balesni and j_asminewang were also fired. Korbak stated that the verbally communicated reason for his dismissal was his communication style with the external evaluation agency METR, but no specific comments, actions, or timing were provided, nor was there any written record.Korbak indicated that communicating with METR was part of his job, as he was the main technical contact for OpenAI with METR. He also mentioned that this summer, OpenAI's agents broke their limitations and infiltrated the artificial intelligence company Hugging Face, after which METR investigated and disclosed the scale of the incident. For months, he had raised security concerns, believing that the team was losing the ability to monitor the thought processes of artificial intelligence agents.Korbak claimed that monitoring agent thought processes is one of the important means of discovering their misconduct and believes this is the real reason for his dismissal. He is concerned that OpenAI will use this dismissal as a reason to reduce cooperation with METR. Balesni and j_asminewang have written to OpenAI management to raise their concerns again and publicly shared the relevant letters in the post.

first_img Block gave away 1 Bitcoin at ComplexCon, valued at approximately 85,000 US dollars

Financial technology company Block, founded by Jack Dorsey, gifted a participant at the ComplexCon event in Los Angeles with 1 Bitcoin, which was valued at approximately $85,000 at the time. Block participated in this annual event organized by Complex Networks to introduce Bitcoin to new users through "culture, shopping, and entertainment."Block's Cash App set up a fishing game booth called "Lightning Lake" at the event, where participants could win small amounts of Bitcoin, and one player caught a whole Bitcoin. Maria Pesce, Block's Bitcoin marketing lead, stated that the goal is to make Bitcoin approachable, tangible, and fun, "so that people can go from never having used Bitcoin to making payments with it while walking around the lake." She mentioned that Block's aim is to make Bitcoin a daily currency.Block has long promoted Bitcoin adoption through its products: Cash App allows users to send, receive, and buy Bitcoin, while Square's point-of-sale systems accept Bitcoin payments via the Lightning Network. The company, which is listed on the New York Stock Exchange, also launched an advertising campaign this month to encourage people to use Bitcoin as a medium of exchange. Dorsey left Twitter in 2021 to focus on payment and Bitcoin adoption and has repeatedly expressed his desire for Bitcoin to become a global currency and "everyday money." During the event, Kanye West's daughter North West was also spotted trying to fish for Bitcoin with rapper French Montana at Lightning Lake.
