OpenAI is facing significant internal turmoil as multiple high-profile employees have resigned over safety concerns. Jan Leike, an executive at OpenAI, resigned citing safety concerns, which was followed by the resignation of another employee who shared similar concerns. Policy researcher Gretchen Krueger also announced her departure, making her the third employee to leave the company in the past week. Ilya Sutskever, another key figure, has also left the company. The resignations highlight growing unease within the company regarding its approach to AI safety and potential risks. Additionally, OpenAI has been accused of lying about a voice product and dissolving its AI safety team. Sam Altman, the CEO of OpenAI, has responded to these resignations, but the internal discord continues to raise questions about the company's direction and commitment to safety.

Dang. "In the last week, OpenAI has repeatedly lied about a voice product, dissolved its AI safety team, and had two major players in the company resign — one of whom tried to oust Sam Altman late last year, and the other who clearly despises the direction of the company" https://t.co/n5V4gCM7IJ
