Sam Altman might be one of the last original founders remaining at OpenAI as another departs to focus on AI alignment at a rival firm
“The employees of OpenAI, led by those from ChatGPT’s team, have collectively emphasized that the company relies heavily on its people. However, it’s worth noting that the organization has recently experienced departures within its safety and super alignment team over the past few months.
