Part 2/11:
Last week, Sam Altman, the CEO of OpenAI, was unexpectedly dismissed by the company's board. This fiery episode was fueled by allegations of potential malfeasance—though the company insists that safety concerns were not the reason behind the firing. However, rumors swirl that a significant breakthrough or discovery within the company's research arm may have precipitated the crisis.
As of this morning, new updates reveal a dramatic twist: some OpenAI researchers sent a warning to the board about an AI breakthrough called QAR, which they believe could pose a threat to humanity. This confidential letter hints that the QAR algorithm might be an unprecedented advancement with profound implications.
