The July 1 letter references a formal whistleblower complaint recently filed with the SEC. The Washington Post was the first to report on the letter. US Sen. Chuck Grassley's office shared a copy of the letter with The Associated Press, noting it was provided to his office by legally protected whistleblowers. OpenAI's policies and practices appear to cast a chilling effect on whistleblowers' right to speak up and receive due compensation for their protected .
