OpenAI is experiencing talent churn amongst its top developers.

OpenAI AI has not been having a great year.

OpenAI disbanded its mission alignment team.

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.

OpenAI has significant reputational damage amongst effectively all of its stakeholders.

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