OpenAI is experiencing significant internal turmoil with several key figures leaving the organization. Co-founder Greg Brockman has resigned and moved to Anthropic, joining other former OpenAI members. This follows a series of high-profile departures, including Ilya Sutskever and Andrej Karpathy. Despite these exits, Sam Altman and Wojciech Zaremba remain with the company. The departures have raised concerns about the organization's stability and future direction, especially as OpenAI's valuation stands at $80 billion compared to Anthropic's $18 billion. Elon Musk has also criticized OpenAI for prioritizing profits over humanity, adding to the controversy surrounding the company. Additionally, OpenAI's alignment researcher has also left, and the company has fallen on the Microsoft competitor list.
