Ilya Sutskever, a top recruit who turned down a $6 million annual offer from Google to join OpenAI, began to feel by 2020-2023 that Sam Altman should not have control over the technology.

Ilia Sutskyver is the co-founder and former chief scientist at OpenAI.

OpenAI is experiencing talent churn amongst its top developers.

Ilia Sutskever and Greg Brockman initially chose Elon Musk to be the CEO of OpenAI's for-profit entity.

Elon Musk had a falling out with Sam Altman because Musk felt Altman had abandoned OpenAI's altruistic goals for profit.

Ilia Sutskever never returned to OpenAI after Sam Altman's reinstallation, and Mira Murati left shortly thereafter.
