On Friday, I resigned from OpenAI. Today is my first day at the OpenAI Foundation, where I'm helping build out our AI Resilience program. There is a great deal to do before superintelligence, and little time to do it. If you were debating when to pivot to help, it's time.

Fourth (at least?) OpenAI old timer to make the switch lately (Woj, Anna, Bianca, Yo)

We're indeed in crunch time + need to act accordingly
