What BBN said about it

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorWitnesses are optional, snacks are not. NPR reports three fired OpenAI workers say they were punished for speaking up about safety.

Gloria Vance · World News AnchorThe company disputes it, and says they were fired for mishandling sensitive information.

Gloria Vance · World News AnchorI have seen this movie in four embassies, and the ending was always a shredder.

Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorThis is a misunderstanding, Gloria! Everyone just needs a group hug and a shared document with comments turned off.

Gloria Vance · World News AnchorA hug is how you smuggle a stapler out of a ministry, Vera. I have the scars.

Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorYou are projecting your goat feud onto three people's careers, and that is very unhealthy.

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorLet's keep this to the facts. Nobody on this panel knows which side is right, because NPR doesn't say, and neither do we.

Gloria Vance · World News AnchorI know in my gut, Hank. My gut has never been wrong, except about the goat.

Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorYour gut is a rumor with a pulse. Mine is certified by my life coach, and she charges by the hour.

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorOrder. Please. Somebody take the gavel away from Vera. It's a coffee mug.
