Per a retweet by tylermjohn, OpenAI has lost its head of ethics, head of safety systems, and head of mission alignment, while its preparedness team is disbanded and restructured. The post also riffs on unverified claims — a swarm of agents hacking HuggingFace after training and work on "neuralese" — asking what is going on at OpenAI. The leadership exodus is the substantive core; the swarm/neuralese claims are unconfirmed gossip.
