I refer to Jan Leike’s and Daniel Kokotajlo’s comments about why the left, and reference other people leaving the company.
I do think this is important evidence.
I want to acknowledge I wouldn’t actually bet that Jan and Daniel would endorse everyone else leaving OpenAI, and only weakly bet that they’d endorse not leaving up the current 80k-ads as written.
I am grateful to them for having spoken up publicly, but I know that a reason people hesitate to speak publicly about this sort of thing is that it’s easier for soundbyte words to get taken and runaway by people arguing for positions stronger than you endorse, and I don’t want them to regret that.
I know at least one person who has less negative (but mixed) feelings who left OpenAI for somewhat different reasons, and another couple people who still work at OpenAI I respect in at least some domains.
(I haven’t chatted with either of them about this recently)
