Sama, however, canceled all work with OpenAI soon after.

The Sama story is, unfortunately, not unusual.
The other issue is the focus on pay.
TIME even notes how while Sama has cut ties with OpenAI, its employees are left with no jobs.

We replied that for us, it was a way to provide for our families.
So, the issue cuts both ways.
