@Lioh @Em0nM4stodon yeah this article is still very boosterish in a lot of ways.
This person quit the company, but they aren't done detoxing from the hype yet.

“People tell chatbots about their medical fears, their relationship problems, their beliefs about God and the afterlife. -
A female OpenAI executive who raised concerns about the upcoming ‘Adult Mode’ - which lets you sex ChatGPT girlfriends - has been fired for ‘sexual discrimination against men’@kneoghau @GossiTheDog sex discrimination, not harassment.
You're absolutely right to point out that there's some imbalance between believing victims when they're men vs. women, but there is no allegation of sexual harassment here.
Of course sex discrimination has a lot of the same dynamics, but given the mountains of sex discrimination against non-men for which nobody gets fired, I think it's very fair to claim foul play here.
Also notable: The priors in "woman's complaint of sex discrimination is fabricated" and "man's complaint of sex discrimination is fabricated" look entirely different. Men do occasionally suffer sex discrimination but regularly benefit from sexism. Women face something like reciprocal odds of harms/benefits. Women sometimes make up accusations, but far more off their allegations are real than fake, yet few are acted upon, or actually see justice. Men also make up allegations, particularly against female bosses.
To my mind, the Baysian truth here is that a disgruntled & sexist male worker had filed a complaint, which higher-ups were ignoring as spurious, until it became inconvenient to keep her on due to her reservations about the unsafe sex app plans.
In 6 months the stories of domestic violence & suicide provoked by the ChatGPT adult app are going to come out, this woman knows that, her bosses know that, heck we all can see that from here in the bleachers...
