OpenAI Under Fire Whistleblowers Allege Unsafe AI Practices

What if you thought your company was doing something wrong but felt you couldn't speak out? OpenAI employees are in this predicament. Whistleblowers have filed a complaint with the SEC, claiming they were forced to sign away their rights to report safety concerns.

Employees fear OpenAI is rushing out unvetted models to stay ahead of competition. Allegedly, GPT-4o's release was planned before safety testing began, leaving staff feeling it was inevitable. OpenAI insists it welcomes criticism and didn’t neglect testing.

This complaint surfaces as OpenAI pushes for breakthroughs, like the "Strawberry" project, which aims for high-level reasoning and in-depth research capabilities. As AI advances, so do public risks, making thorough testing crucial. OpenAI recently delayed its voice assistant release for additional testing, perhaps indicating a shift towards caution.

Ether ETFs Set to Shake Market

The impending debut of spot ether ETFs in the U.S. has investors flocking to the options market to hedge against price swings. Implied volatility, indicating market expectations for turbulence, has risen across various timeframes, reflecting increased demand for protective derivatives.

Short-term contracts, particularly those expiring on July 19, show a notable uptick in hedging activity. This surge aligns with bullish expectations for spot ether ETFs but contrasts with Bitcoin's euphoric positioning in early January, suggesting a lower likelihood of a post-debut sell-off for ether.
