So we have sources claiming there is a letter, and another source claiming there is not. Feel like some people would need to start going on the record before anything might reasonably be determined from this.
This could just be a damage control attempt. Irrespective of whether the original report is true, the extra attention at the current stage is not very desirable.
Maybe we should have learned during the Trump years that the media puts no effort into vetting "anonymous sources" or is outright making them up to push lies.
And honestly normally I'd trust Reuters above The Verge.
But in either case, I think Reuters absolutely had someone on the inside to leak this. They have made mistakes in the past, sure, but they are also not a tabloid and they don't innovate.
To me, a sensible conclusion of this is simply that OpenAI is not ready or willing to discuss this. Stuff that are supposed to be kept internal but due to the emotional state over at OpenAI, things might have leaked, potentially even out of spite.
