Wall Street Journal article: "OpenAI has cut ties with one of its top safety executives, on the grounds of sexual discrimination, after she voiced opposition to the controversial rollout of AI erotica in its ChatGPT product. The fast-growing artificial intelligence company fired the executive, Ryan Beiermeister, in early January, following a leave of absence, according to people familiar with the matter. OpenAI told her the termination was related to her sexual discrimination against a male colleague."
WSJ article: ""The allegation that I discriminated against anyone is absolutely false," Beiermeister said in a statement in response to a request for comment. OpenAI said Beiermeister "made valuable contributions during her time at OpenAI, and her departure was not related to any issue she raised while working at the company." Beiermeister served as the vice president leading OpenAI's product policy team, which develops rules for how people can use the company's products and helps design the enforcement mechanisms for those policies. Her ousting came ahead of OpenAl's planned launch early this year of a mode that will allow users to create AI erotica in ChatGPT. The planned feature, which would permit adult-themed conversation including sexual topics for adult users, has drawn criticism from researchers at the company who have studied the ways some people develop unhealthy attachments to chatbots, according to some of the people. They have raised the prospect that sexual content could intensify the feelings some people have for the AI personas they view as companions.
WSJ article: Members of an advisory council on "well-being and AI" that OpenAI convenes regularly have also expressed opposition to adult mode and urged the company to reconsider plans to launch it, people with knowledge of those discussions said. OpenAI Chief Executive Sam Altman has defended the move to expand the permissible content on his platform as a part of an effort to "treat adult users like adults." Before her firing, Beiermeister told colleagues that she opposed adult mode, and worried it would have harmful effects for users, people familiar with her remarks said. She also told colleagues that she believed OpenAI's mechanisms to stop child-exploitation content weren't effective enough, and that the company couldn't sufficiently wall off adult content from teens, the people said.

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) β Alberto CastaΓ±eda MondragΓ³n says his memory was so jumbled after a beating by immigration officers that he initially could not remember he had a daughter and still struggles to recall treasured moments like the night he taught her to dance. But the violence he endured last month in Minnesota while being detained is seared into his battered brain. He remembers Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents pulling him from a friendβs car on Jan. 8 outside a St. Paul shopping center and throwing him to the ground, handcuffing him, then punching him and striking his head with a steel baton. He remembers being dragged into an SUV and taken to a detention facility, where he said he was beaten again. He also remembers the emergency room and the intense pain from eight skull fractures and five life-threatening brain hemorrhages.
ICE told nurses this Minneapolis man βpurposefully ran headfirst into a brick wall.β
What actually happened is that they pulled him from a car, beat him so viciously with a steel baton that he had 8 skull fractures, 5 life-threatening brain hemorrhages, and couldnβt remember he had a daughter.
