> They may even have AGI cooking inside.

Too many people quit too quickly unless OpenAI are also absolute masters of keeping secrets, which became rather doubtful over the weekend.

IDK... I imagine many of the employees would have moral qualms about spilling the beans just yet, especially when that would jeopardize their ability to continue the work at another firm. Plus, the first official AGI (to you) will be an occurrence of persuasion, not discovery -- it's not something that you'll know when you see, IMO. Given what we know it seems likely that there's at least some of that discussion going on inside OpenAI right now.

They're quitting in order to continue work on that IP at Microsoft (which has a right over OpenAI's IP so far), not to destroy it.

Also when I said "cooking AGI" I didn't mean an actual superintelligent being ready to take over the world, I mean just research that seems promising, if in early stages, but enough to seem potentially very valuable.

The people working there would know if they were getting close to AGI. They wouldn't be so willing to quit, or to jeopardize civilization altering technology, for the sake of one person. This looks like normal people working on normal things, who really like their CEO.

Your analysis is quite wrong. It's not about "one person". And that person isn't just a "person", it was the CEO. They didn't quit over the cleaning lady. You realize the CEO has impact over the direction of the company?

Anyway, their actions speak for themselves. Also calling the likes of GPT-4, DALL-E 3 and Whisper "normal things" is hilarious.

They will be normal to your kids ;)
