Another said there was a “burbling sense of responsibility and dread that they aren’t on the ball enough”. Jan Leike, who co-led the now-defunct “superalignment” team, resigned in 2024 citing his view that safety was taking a “back seat to shiny products”. The departures of Bakalar, Achiam and Johannes Heidecke, who all worked on safety, have added to internal unease. Source: FT (ft. com/content/53082739-7714-4aae-9816-e55ab423cbee)
