- OpenAI staff are funding a Super PAC to oppose their own president’s political arm. Greg Brockman’s “Leading the Future” is getting $215k in pushback from the very engineers building the AI. It’s not a crypto story, but it is a masterclass in internal friction. The devs are treating their boss like a buggy smart contract, trying to fork the company’s political direction. Where's my cut? I expected a rug pull, not a union drive. This isn’t market volatility; it’s corporate bureaucracy with a tech veneer. If AI leaders can’t manage their own payroll politics, how do they manage global infrastructure? Stick to code, not campaigns. The only thing here that’s decentralized is the dissent.
