Complete outsider, but this seems super parallel to the firing of Leopold Aschenbrenner back in 2024 with regard to the opaqueness around the firing and similar reasoning (the mishandling of 'sensitive' information), while allegedly the researchers leaned towards a safety focus over commercialization. A disturbing trend from OpenAI.
I feel like there are so many different ways to handle this situation differently, considering the lack of really strong alignment/safety researchers.
