Open ai C suite guy then says
The OpenAI person publicly identified in this dispute is Sébastien Bubeck, who OpenAI lists as technical staff, not a C-suite executive.
Full reasoning
This post describes the OpenAI figure in the story as a "C suite guy", but the person publicly identified in reporting on Buckmaster's account is Sébastien Bubeck, and OpenAI's own materials do not place him in the C-suite.
OpenAI's Forum page for "AI and the Future of Mathematics" lists Sébastien Bubeck as "Technical Staff @ OpenAI". Separately, OpenAI's own science writeup refers to "Researchers Sébastien Bubeck and Christian Coester". Those are research/technical roles, not executive C-suite titles like CEO, CTO, CFO, etc.
So even if Buckmaster's account is taken at face value about who said the quoted lines, calling that person "C suite" is inaccurate.
