WHAT CAUGHT OUR ATTENTION MOST

OpenAI Drama: A Co-founder leaves for Anthropic and its President takes 'Extended Leave of Absence'

John Schulman, the co-founder of OpenAI and a key figure in developing ChatGPT, has left the company to join competitor?AI startup Anthropic. This move signifies a notable change in the AI research field as Schulman aims to concentrate more on AI alignment at Anthropic.

Additionally, OpenAI President and co-founder Greg Brockman is taking a break until the end of the year to relax and recharge after leading the company for nine years. Brockman shared this news via social media, stressing the need for rest while reaffirming OpenAI's mission to develop safe AGI.

• Schulman explained that his move was driven by a desire to engage in more hands-on technical work and explore new perspectives at Anthropic.
• The co-founder joined OpenAI after earning his PhD at UC Berkeley and was instrumental in leading the reinforcement training team that developed ChatGPT. He clarified that his departure was personal and commended OpenAI's dedication to alignment research.
• Schulman's departure, along with Greg Brockman's?extended leave, means a shift in leadership. While OpenAI's remaining leaders are highly competent, these changes may slow decision-making processes or alter strategic priorities in the short term. This could delay advancements or the implementation of new alignment techniques in ChatGPT.

Schulman led the reinforcement training team that fine-tuned ChatGPT. His departure may affect ongoing projects and innovations. However, OpenAI's strong team is likely to maintain continuity, though there might be a period of adjustment.
