Ilya and Jan Leike quit OpenAI the same week — "safety has taken a backseat"
In May 2024, within days of the GPT-4o launch, Ilya Sutskever and superalignment co-lead Jan Leike both resigned. Leike publicly said safety culture had been replaced by "shiny products," the superalignment team had been starved of compute, and he'd been at a breaking point for months. OpenAI dissolved the superalignment team within a week.
