OpenAI CEO Sam Altman makes it clear to employees at Townhall: You do not get to choose how…
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman had a blunt message for his employees this week: when it comes to US military operations, the company simply does not get a vote. “So maybe you think the Iran strike was good and the Venezuela invasion was bad,” Altman told staff at an all-hands meeting on Tuesday, according to a partial transcript reviewed by CNBC. “You don’t get to weigh in on that.”
The meeting came four days after Altman announced, late on a Friday evening, that OpenAI had struck a deal with the Pentagon to deploy its AI models on classified networks—a deal that landed just hours after rival Anthropic was formally blacklisted by the Department of Defense and hours before the US and Israel launched strikes on Iran.
