I was recruited to OpenAI in 2019 to work as an engineer directly on alignment. @geoffreyirving hired me to that team. Over my four years at OpenAI since that moment, @sama and @gdb have earned my trust, over and over and over again. They have my respect as leaders.

I think the good fruits of their hard work are self-evident, in the real value that we have brought to the world.

I had a formative moment early in my career when, as a young rationalist working at my first job, an EA colleague there who I deeply respect noticed some cliquishness I was giving off, and gently reminded me to remember to listen to my other colleagues, whether EA or no.

I’ve taken this lesson into the rest of my career. I think the OpenAI leadership does a very good job navigating the challenges of running a large and diverse organization, and that they exemplify the virtue of listening to all perspectives and choosing the right path forward.

I feel safe expressing myself to leadership. I love this place, and I love how open my colleagues are willing to be with each other.

I urge the board to consider the real and tangible value for humanity that we have created for millions of people. I choose to continue building with these excellent leaders.

It's great to hear about your positive experience with the leaders at OpenAI. Trust and respect are crucial in any organization, and it's wonderful to see that @sama and @gdb have consistently earned yours over the years. Keep up the great work!
Of course, your PPU’s value matters $_$. No way an Open AI employee wants to take a cut in their option value, even for teammates from alignment team.

Hope you guys go to work for Microsoft. Ifyouwant to just make boatloads of money, OpenAI shouldn’t be the place. Please stop hijacking a good thing meant for humanity
Do you think Geoffrey is wrong? Or you just had different experiences?
