In the fall of 2003, Ilia Sutskyver, OpenAI's chief scientist, sent secret memos to three fellow members of the organization's board of directors.

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.

Ilya Sutskever wrote a memo accusing Sam Altman of a consistent pattern of lying and pitting executives against each other.

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