OpenAI has tried to distance itself from Leading the Future in recent weeks, publishing a blog post saying that “OpenAI does not direct the activities of LTF, or have visibility into their operations.” But that post doesn’t tell the full story. It omits key details about Lehane’s role in establishing LTF and the way super PAC operation’s own staff view their relationship with OpenAI. Lehane is also widely believed to have selected Josh Vlasto to co-lead the group. Even internally, a senior staffer said he sees OpenAI as a “corporate funder”. OpenAI has been shifting its messaging in light of employee pushback on some of LTF and OpenAI’s own political tactics. More details in Transformer (l*nk in reply):
