Yeah, no, OpenAI owns this. You can’t simply have a separate legal entity to do your evildoing through and then claim “woah, that’s not us doing it - it’s the separate evildoing legal entity”. More OpenAI employees should be aware of the political stuff their company supports

@gdb @boazbaraktcs @deanwball Haven’t you previously been advised on donations by counsel inside OpenAI?

@deanwball Funded by my wife & me personally, not funded by OpenAI! No PAC speaks on behalf of OpenAI. Anna's and my goal with donating has always been to express support for sensible AI regulation (https://x.com/gdb/status/2006512808104702370), very glad to see that increasingly landing!
