The New Yorker just dropped a massive investigation into Sam Altman, based on over 100 interviews, the previously undisclosed "Ilya Memos," and Dario Amodei's 200+ pages of private notes. It's the most detailed account yet of the pattern of behavior that led to Sam's firing and rapid reinstatement at OpenAI. Here's the breakdown: > Ilya compiled ~70 pages of Slack messages, HR documents, and photos taken on personal phones to avoid detection on company devices. He sent them to board members as disappearing messages. The first memo begins with a list headed "Sam exhibits a consistent pattern of . . ." The first item is "Lying." > Dario kept detailed private notes for years under the heading "My Experience with OpenAI" (subheading: "Private: Do Not Share"), totaling 200+ pages. His conclusion: "The problem with OpenAI is Sam himself." > Sam reportedly told Mira his allies were "going all out" and "finding bad things" to damage her reputation after the firing. Thrive put its planned $86B investment on hold and implied it would only close if Sam returned, giving employees financial incentive to back him. > Sam texted Satya Nadella directly to propose the new board composition: "bret, larry summers, adam as the board and me as ceo and then bret handles the investigation." The two new members selected to oversee an independent inquiry into Sam were chosen after close conversations with Sam himself. > Before OpenAI, senior employees at Loopt asked the board to fire Sam as CEO on two separate occasions over concerns about leadership and transparency. At Y Combinator, partners complained to Paul Graham about Sam's behavior, and Graham privately told colleagues "Sam had been lying to us all the time." > OpenAI's superalignment team was promised 20% of the company's compute. Four people who worked on or with the team said actual resources were 1-2%, mostly on the oldest cluster with the worst chips. The team was dissolved without completing its mission. > Sam told the board that safety features in GPT-4 had been approved by a safety panel. Helen Toner requested documentation and found the most controversial features had not been approved. Sam also never mentioned to the board that Microsoft released an early ChatGPT version in India without completing a required safety review. > Sam made a secret pact with Greg and Ilya where he agreed to resign if they both deemed it necessary, essentially appointing his own shadow board. The actual board was alarmed when they learned about it. > Sam struck a deal with Greg to become CEO while simultaneously telling researchers that Greg's authority would be diminished, and telling Greg something different. > A board member described Sam as having "two traits almost never seen in the same person: a strong desire to please people in any given interaction, and almost a sociopathic lack of concern for the consequences of deceiving someone." Multiple sources independently used the word "sociopathic." > OpenAI is reportedly preparing for an IPO at a potential $1 trillion valuation while securing government contracts spanning immigration enforcement, domestic surveillance, and autonomous weaponry in war zones.

ALEX MAFIA KINGPIN, DEPUTY PRESIDENT PAUL MASHATILE HAS DECLARED WAR AGAINST PRESIDENT CYRIL RAMAPHOSA AND THE DA: Behind the scenes in the ANC they have massive drama. After all the consultations President Cyril Ramaphosa is of the opinion that the GNU must include the DA. The corrupt,disgraced Paul Mashatile is now openly hitting back at this. He has the support of elements of the SACP. Paul MASHATILE has now fully aligned himself with the RET faction in the ANC, openly has meetings with Jacob Zuma and is very close to Julius Malema. Paul Mashatile described the DA as a “crocodile “ Basically meaning someone you cannot trust. But don’t forget this same Paul Mashatile has a string of corruption allegations against him. He admitted to some of them himself. Taking diamonds from fraudsters, this week we saw another video of his convey driving in the opposite site of the road to avoid traffic which could have caused a massive accident and innocent lives lost. A huge faction in the ANC currently is with Ramaphosa which means GNU with DA. Business has reached out to Ramaphosa to keep the GNU intact with the DA ,IFP and the other current GNU partners. Business is prepared to pump in BILLIONS to rebuild the country but not under RET aligned Mashatile. The Mashatile alliance with EFF and MK Party will destroy this country. Suddenly a faction has woken up in the ANC that is anti Ramaphosa and pro Mashatile and Jacob Zuma. The next few days are very critical. Pray that the Ramaphosa faction wins so we can have the DA in the GNU. LEAD US RAMAPHOSA WE BELIEVE IN YOU MAJORITY OF SOUTH AFRICANS ARE WITH YOU

Ronan Farrow just did to Sam Altman what he did to Harvey Weinstein... The New Yorker dropped an 18-month investigation this morning based on 100+ interviews and a stack of internal documents that were never supposed to leave OpenAI. Ilya's secret memos, Dario Amodei's private journal. Board communications, the full picture of who Sam Altman is when the cameras are off. And the pattern starts way before OpenAI. At his first startup Loopt, senior employees went to the board and asked them to fire Sam as CEO. This happened twice, over concerns about leadership and transparency. He left, joined Y Combinator, and the same thing played out. Partners complained to Paul Graham about Sam's behavior. Graham's private take to colleagues: Sam had been lying to us all the time. Nobody removed him, he kept getting promoted. Eventually he landed the CEO seat at what is now the most consequential AI company in the world. Inside OpenAI, Ilya Sutskever spent months compiling evidence: 70 pages of Slack messages, HR documents, and photos taken on personal phones because employees knew company devices were being monitored. He sent everything to the board as disappearing messages so Sam couldn't make it go away. The very first line of his memo lists Sam's core pattern, and the first word on that list is: Lying Dario Amodei saw the same thing and handled it differently. He kept a private journal for years, over 200 pages, titled "My Experience with OpenAI" with a subheading that said "Private: Do Not Share" After all those pages, his conclusion was one sentence: the problem with OpenAI is Sam himself. He eventually left and built Anthropic. 2 of the smartest people in AI independently reached the same verdict. Neither could stop what was happening. The superalignment team, the group responsible for making sure AI doesn't go off the rails, was promised 20% of OpenAI's compute. 4 people who worked on or with the team told The New Yorker the real number was 1-2%, running on the oldest cluster with the worst hardware. The team got dissolved before finishing its work. Safety was a talking point, not a priority. Sam told the board that a safety panel had approved controversial features in GPT-4. When board member Helen Toner asked for the documentation, it turned out the most sensitive features had never been approved at all. Separately, Microsoft released an early version of ChatGPT in India without completing a required safety review and Sam never mentioned it to the board. When the board finally fired him in November 2023, he texted Satya Nadella directly with his own replacement board lineup. Thrive Capital put its planned $86B investment on hold and signaled it would only close if Sam came back, giving every OpenAI employee a financial reason to support his return. The 2 board members selected to run the "independent investigation" into Sam's conduct were chosen after close conversations with Sam himself. He engineered his own reinstatement and nobody blinked. The New Yorker quotes a board member describing Sam as having two traits you almost never see in the same person: a desperate need to be liked in every interaction, and a near-complete indifference to the consequences of deceiving someone. Multiple sources used the word "sociopathic" without being prompted and without talking to each other. The article also drops a line that might be the best summary of the whole thing. They compare Sam to Steve Jobs and his famous "reality distortion field" then point out that even Jobs never told his customers that if they didn't buy his MP3 player, everyone they loved would die. Sam wrapped that exact pitch in the language of AI safety and rode it to a potential $1T IPO. That IPO is being prepared right now, while OpenAI signs government contracts spanning immigration enforcement, domestic surveillance and autonomous weapons deployed in active war zones. Meanwhile, The Information reports that his own CFO told colleagues she doesn't believe the company is ready to go public in 2026. Farrow is answering questions on Hacker News right now. The full piece is open access. Read it before Sam figures out how to make this disappear too

KZN IS THE COMMAND CENTRE 🚨 In 2021, South Africa burned. 350+ dead. R50bn lost. While the country cried, KZN Police Commissioner Mkhwanazi was on “leave” and we heard in the inquiry that police in KZN were allegedly stand down. The GCABA brother who was caught red handed with 70 SASSA cards , withdrawing money, and more found at his house, luxury Mercedes parked nearby, file sitting on Mkwanazi desk. Since 2021. the GCABA brother gangster who is also nephew of Jacob Zuma gangster caught red-handed.File collecting dust on Mkwanazi desk since 2021. The raid earlier this year at MaMkhize house was a joint operation between Hawks , KZN SAPS and SARS, Mkhwanazi did not touch MaMkhize even after 40 military grade guns were found in her house. About 3 weeks ago Mkwanazi holds a press conference with the biggest allegations in Democratic South Africa. Pass 2 weeks MK Party having protest marches around the country to destabilise the country. Last week the Minister of intelligence Khumbudzo Ntshavheni said the state has picked up a coup plot, once again rooted in KZN. And again every thread leads back to Zuma’s shadow network. I am not saying anything against General Mkhwanazi, just wondering why he is not touching MaMkhize and the GCABA brother. KZN isn’t just lawless. It’s captured. And it’s fighting back. The words of Joel Netshitenzhe, "The beneficiaries of corruption and state capture will not give up without a fight.” Don’t jump down my throat. I am just trying to connect the dots. Not accusing General Mkhwanazi of anything. An intelligent person will definitely be asking the same thou. Jacob Zuma even goes to court to support one of the main instigators of the July Riots, Bonkingkosi Khayile. Everything seems off, General Mkhwanazi has done excellent work but why is he not touching the notorious gangsters in KZN with all the proof.

🏝️ Bali's trash burning problem has just reached new toxic heights This week, Bali's biggest landfill has been ordered to close. The landfill is a more than 35 meter high mountain of decaying trash covering 32 hectares. It's closed because the gases emanated from it are toxic and ground water is being contaminated This means there's no other landfill of this size near to accept Bali's current trash. So the government has instructed people that "household waste should be disposed of at home" which in Bali means burning it! Trash burning has been a tradition for centuries in Bali (and Indonesia), but it used be mostly organic matter that was being burned Once plastic arrived the tradition didn't change though and locals started burning plastic too, pumping toxic gases into the air causing massive spikes of lung cancer and other respiratory diseases The tradition means on a daily basis around 7 in the morning and 6 in the evening, your neighbours will be burning their trash, and if you're not lucky there's a construction site near which will burn even more but all day! Burning plastic means you emit dioxins and furans, some of the most potent human carcinogens that exist I have friends in Indonesia with family with lung cancer cases, it's a real thing. My fear with Bali has always been that the digital nomads there might not realize the slow danger creeping up on them. You get used to the trash burning and polluted air very quickly in Bali and it probably doesn't affect you over a year or so But if you're there for many years, it will in some way or the other! For a community that's so about fitness and health, air quality is weirdly a consideration mostly overlooked in Bali
