On July 30, 1778, Congress passed America's first whistleblower protection law. They knew then what we know now: we will not survive if people can't speak up without fear of retribution. All gratitude to truth-tellers then & now. We're here to help

We’re not asking for Claude to spill the tea or for Sam Altman’s ChatGPT therapy notes. Just a doc explaining how AI companies handle worker concerns. We're joining @AIWI_Official and a growing coalition in this call: #PublishYourPolicies. More here:

More from Nat'l Whistleblower Appreciation Day, we hear from Sen.@RonWyden @StopFraud:. "It’s really hard today to come forward. But it was always hard. It was never a walk in the park. Whistleblowers can be the difference in ensuring the rule of law and due process is followed.

@StopFraud @DKokotajlo "Transparency is the most important thing for us to push for. I’d like more freedom at these companies for people to say what they know. There should be an intermediate middle ground where you can talk about your concern privately and not go public." - @DKokotajlo @StopFraud.

@StopFraud @DKokotajlo "People have been worried about this for at least a decade. None of these CEOs trust each other and I think they are right, we shouldn’t trust any of them." .- OpenAI whistleblower @DKokotajlo @StopFraud.

@StopFraud "Some AI companies are pushing hard toward super intelligence. There are 2 risks: concentration of power and loss of control. Whoever controls these powerful systems will really have control of the world. The most insane concentration of power ever." - OpenAI Wblower @DKokotajlo.

@StopFraud "We must remain vigilant and consistent in defending the rights of federal whistleblowers." - Dr. Tommie “Toni” Savage, Army Corps Whistleblower.

We're at National Whistleblower Center's Whistleblower Appreciation Day today, hearing firsthand from whistleblowers and others who work with them. This year, whistleblowing has become more fraught than ever. We are sharing some of what we are hearing here today. @StopFraud.

Without government oversight, AI insiders will find themselves without outlets to report public interest information. We’re here to help

A totally nascent industry given a free pass to dodge government oversight and safeguards. Buckle up folks, this will be interesting….

Psst… Our co-founder @jennifermgibson is on the @LockedUpLiving podcast today discussing our movement to turn whistleblowing on its head from an individual act to a collective force. Tune in to hear how we’re helping people find strength in numbers. 🎧

NEW: A bill introduced by @HawleyMO & @SenBlumenthal would allow people to sue tech companies for training their AI models with pirated or copyrighted data. Nice bi-partisan momentum on putting people over Big Tech, we'll be watching this one.

Psst. We spoke to @dcexaminer / @naomitlim about the White House's crackdown on so-called "leaks.". Our co-founder, Jennifer Gibson: "We want public servants to speak up when they see illegality or misconduct. That’s not leaking." 👇.

An employee at the Federal Aviation Administration says,. "We say at the FAA that our rules are written in blood. It's so hard to believe that we're going to need another tragedy in which lives are lost, to prove again that we need to hire the people we need.".

An employee at the Internal Revenue Service says,. "It is easier now for high-income, high-wealth, multi-national corporations to absolutely cheat the tax law. It sends a huge signal that it's going to be okay to not have to pay your taxes.".

An employee at the Center for Disease Control and Prevention says,. "The people who have been fired were protecting you from diseases that I'm glad you don't know about.".

We’re previewing some, er, lowlights from the project in🧵.

12 federal workers have risked their jobs & reputations to tell us exactly how DOGE cuts to critical government services will impact our daily lives. Hear tales from the inside of the FAA, FDA, EPA, & more in @Fedsagainstdoge must-watch new series. 👇.

New York and California are working on historic AI safety bills- both of which include whistleblower protections so insiders can help the government do its job. Their opponents? AI companies, and lawmakers pushing a federal ban on state AI regulation. We’ll be watching these….
