    Not sure about her dismissal but I'm glad to see that erotic uses are being opened up for users that want that. It's frustrating that chatbots constantly close up at the slightest hint of sexuality.

    Here in Europe we don't really have this puritan attitude. A toggle similar to 'safe search' would suffice for users who want to keep it above the belt.

      I mean, it definitely depends on which 'Here' we are talking about. If we're talking about Berlin, sure, I agree with you. But just as America is diverse, so, too, is Europe.

        Where in Europe is anyone going to through a public anti-nip slip campaign?

    > Beiermeister started at OpenAI in mid-2024 as a part of a wave of hires from Meta who viewed themselves as trying to change tech companies from the inside

    Looks like that's not really effective, even if you're at the executive level

      > a wave of hires from Meta

      With a CV like that I wouldn't expect them to be effective at anything.

    *discrimination against a male employee

      I'm annoyed at the lack of detail in TFA. It only mentions this as the end:

      > Beiermeister started a peer-mentorship program for women at OpenAI in early 2025. The program connected women from different parts of the company and helped them gather in small groups to discuss career strategies, according to people familiar with the matter.

      I wonder if it's implying that the discrimination complaint was from a man being excluded from these.

        HR ignores (or pays attention) to these issues based on the needs of senior management. She probably was fighting something more senior execs wanted, made some bad waves, or generally outlived her usefulness, etc. so they started to pay attention to these instead of not.

        Notably, it’s technically just as illegal to have women only spaces as men only spaces, it was just trendy for awhile to ignore that.
