Kirkie: OpenAI Fires The Whistleblowers, Then Asks For Transparency

Kirkie here, with today's AI news in 90 seconds… or somebody's space-saver survives in Southie past St.

Patrick's Day without getting heaved into the street. First up, OpenAI doubled down on firing three safety researchers, who are now begging the company for 'transparency' — that ain't an apology, that's a mob boss explaining the missing cement truck. Speaking of bullshit numbers, OpenAI's revenue is reportedly twenty billion short of what they promised investors — that's your contractor swearing a kitchen by Christmas, and it's Easter, and there's still a tarp over the sink, ya jackass. Then OpenAI admits a Russian op was planting fake stories in REAL news outlets — their worst rating in two and a half years — so forget the robot being dumb, bub, it lies better than your brother-in-law at a cookout. Mathematicians are calling for a boycott over AI 'proofs' nobody can verify, and crypto idiots are sweating the same math could crack wallet security in MONTHS — enjoy that, every bastard who dumped his retirement into a digital Beanie Baby. Anthropic, meanwhile, just banned being cruel to Claude — like we all gotta say please to a spreadsheet with a god complex now. And through all that goddamn noise, DeepSeek's new model is quietly lapping the paid guys for pennies, and nobody's talking about it — the free thing that works never gets a headline, only the rich guy's meltdown does.

This is Kirkie, your AI news guy… signing off from a whistleblower hotline that rings straight through to the desk of the guy who just finished firing everybody who used it.
