If they say anything other than "he gave two people at OpenAI the same project and he gave two board members different opinions about a member of personnel" then they're admitting they lied 24 hours ago. If they double down on that explanation after being openly challenged by the CEO then the whole world will know they're lying now.

Wouldn't that be evidence that they have less reason to lie about this? This is potentially burning a bridge, which could potentially cost them financially long term.

Sorry, what did they lie about? Not sure I follow (and don't have access to the article or the archive links, it seems..)

This claim was refuted?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19748370Sure seems like they got caught lying, to me.

Evidence that he's lied to those entities?

Or they straight out lied.Wouldn't be the first time.

This is the correct response. Either of them could be lying.A leak needs to happen to cut through the BS and nonsense.

They lied before, so yes it's possible.

Where, specifically, does she assert that they will lie? She says they won’t be as transparent and she says they won’t be as accessible. Neither of those are accusations of an intent to lie.And for what it’s worth, both of those accusations seem to have already played out as she expected.

If they were willing to so brazenly lie about that, what else have they been lying about?
