Altman admitted that there was previously a provision concerning potential equity cancellation, but said the company never clawed back anyone’s vested equity and said this was being fixed in the exit paperwork. While he expressed love for his team and experience, he criticised OpenAI’s safety culture and said he disagreed with the leaders’ approach. We are long overdue in getting incredibly serious about the implications of AGI,” said Leike across several X posts, urging OpenAI employees to focus on safety. In response, Altman appreciated Leike’s contributions to the company and agreed that OpenAI had a lot more to do. He said the company was committed to safety and that he would share a longer post later.
