Farrow, Ronan, and Andrew Marantz. “Sam Altman May Control Our Future—Can He Be Trusted?” The New Yorker, 6 Apr. 2026, www.newyorker.com/magazine/2026/04/13/sam-altman-may-control-our-future-can-he-be-trusted
A relatively recent article dives into the growing concerns surrounding Sam Altman and his leadership at OpenAI. The piece reveals internal tensions that have been building for years, including secret memos, Slack messages, and testimony from senior researchers who questioned whether Altman can be trusted with such powerful technology.
I think this is an incredibly important topic to keep an eye on. What stood out to me the most is how much power is concentrated in a small group of individuals making decisions that could shape the future of AI—and potentially the world. The article makes it clear that this isn’t just about one company or one CEO; it’s about whether the institutions controlling AI are equipped to handle that responsibility. It also reminds me of broader discussions in tech media and online commentary, where figures like Atrioc have pointed out how quickly public trust and user behavior can shift based on leadership decisions. So if internal doubts about Altman continue, it could have major implications for the future of OpenAI.
