After co-founder, another executive quits OpenAI within a day of GPT-4o launch

Hindustan Times  

Following OpenAI co-founder Ilya Sutskever, one of the original creators of the artificial intelligence technology behind ChatGPT's exit, another executive quits Sam Altman's team. OpenAI announced its new chief scientist According to an OpenAI press release, Jakub Pachocki will replace Sutskever as chief scientist at the San Francisco-based branch. The press release reads Jakub has been “spearheading the development of GPT-4 and OpenAI Five, and fundamental research in large-scale RL and deep learning optimization.” “Jakub is going to be our new Chief Scientist. “He has run many of our most important projects, and I am very confident he will lead us to make rapid and safe progress towards our mission of ensuring that AGI benefits everyone.” The question that is currently on everyone's mind as Altman had been temporarily ousted from his own company because he was not “consistently candid in his communications,” and Sutskever was the one to join the effort to oust the OpenAI CEO and later signed a letter demanding his return, is whether Sutskever knows something the public doesn’t?
