The accused Sebastian Bubeck has denied the allegations on Twitter[0], and various other OpenAI employees[1,2] seem to be mocking another Anthropic employee voicing support for Levent[3]? Things are getting messy.

Wow this is just bullying, it's insane that we are letting these people be in charge of the transition
So someone can make public accusations of theft against you and if you publicly reply denying it you’re the bully?
I would assume they are calling the snark from Noam Brown and Dan Roberts bullying, not the somewhat bland denial.

I assume this will make more sense in the morning, right now I’m just extremely confused. Noam never struck me as the type to be snarky like this.
The elves left a long time ago, it’s difficult to see much virtue in what remains.
i already have an extremely low view of openai and their staff, but this is lower than i thought they'd go
if I look at the timestamps, it appears Sholto is the one mocking Noams tweet... Noam posted first.
Douglas' 6:59 AM UTC post is edited. He has a 6:22 AM UTC post that predates Brown's 6:47 AM UTC post: https://xcancel.com/_sholtodouglas/status/209720900556759874...
Also note the lower post ID in the URL.
Doesn’t matter. People’s minds are already made up, and facts aren’t getting in the way.

Interesting that both said “more tomorrow”. If someone accused me of something I didn’t do I’d be pretty clear about it right away.
If I needed to get my story straight, well, it might take a little time and coordination…
