The dismantling of the team generated a lot of headlines, predictably. Reporting - including ours - suggests that OpenAI deprioritized the team's safety research in favor of launching new products like the aforementioned GPT-4o, ultimately leading to the resignation of the team's two co-leads, Jan Leike and OpenAI co-founder Ilya Sutskever.
But the coverage from this week would seem to confirm one thing: that OpenAI's leadership - in particular CEO Sam Altman - has increasingly chosen to prioritize products over safeguards.
