@GaryMarcus I’d be curious to know why the Chief Research Officer left specifically.

So … CTO Mira Murati was just one of THREE OpenAI employees reported employees to have left today; another was the Chief Research Officer, Bob McGrew, and a VP, Barret Zoph, who reported to him.

This is not normal.

Wait what? Murati is leaving, Schulman left, Karpathy left, Ilya left, Leike left, Brockman is on leave, perhaps a dozen others left, GPT-5 hasn’t dropped, Sora hasn’t shipped, the company had an operating loss of $5b last year, there is no obvious moat, Meta is giving away…

The tone is speculative and suggests skepticism about the ability to meet high expectations with current technology. The statement engages with public issues related to the challenges and expectations in the field of AI, particularly in the context of organizational changes at a leading AI company.
