Journalists Ronan Farrow and Andrew Marantz have published what is being described as the most thoroughly documented investigation to date into the leadership of OpenAI, appearing in The New Yorker. This comprehensive exposé arrives at a precarious time for the company, currently valued at an astonishing $852 billion. OpenAI is actively pursuing an initial public offering (IPO), an endeavor its own Chief Financial Officer has deemed unlikely to materialize this year.
