> To be clear, I'm not leaving due to lack of support for alignment research at OpenAI. On the contrary, company leaders have been very committed to investing in this area. My decision is a personal one, based on how I want to focus my efforts in the next phase of my career.

...so then why couldn't he do that at OpenAI?

EDIT: The Information reporting that 3 leaders are leaving including Schulman, which raises further questions.
