Former OpenAI policy head Miles Brundage says he's had hundreds of conversations about leaving the AI industry — covering pros/cons, logistics and options outside — and is "exceedingly efficient" at it. His advice: "if you're already considering it, you probably should — we need you out here!" He clarifies the talk covers leaving one's company or the industry overall, noting departures from the industry have clearly picked up in recent months. A telling signal about talent flowing out of frontier labs' policy and safety roles.
