Our Reading

AI companies are losing talent at an alarming rate. xAI’s founding team has lost half its members, and OpenAI is facing its own shakeups. The disbanding of OpenAI’s mission alignment team and the firing of a policy exec who opposed the “adult mode” feature are just the latest examples. It’s just another day in the AI hype cycle.
