What Did Tomek Korbak Say About Proving Innocence at OpenAI?

at 16:20

From the episode: Fired OpenAI Safety Researchers Speak Out + We Look Inside Pandora’s Box

Answer

Tomek Korbak says he and Mikita Balesni both had disappearing messages turned on. He says that choice was maybe disappointing for an OpenAI security team that wanted to take photos of their conversations, and that for the two of them disappearing messages were a security best practice.

Casey Newton says some people view disappearing messages as suspicious and others see them as the most secure way to communicate. Tomek Korbak says that when you cannot see evidence of a leak, you would presume innocence, but that at OpenAI, when you are not able to prove your innocence, you are presumed guilty.
