pause either further training, or pause deployment, or avoiding certai — John Schulman

"On the contrary, company leaders have been very committed to investing in this area"

"OpenAI co-founder John Schulman says he will leave and join rival Anthropic"

"If AGI came way sooner than expected we would definitely want to be careful about it. We might want to slow down a little bit on training and deployment until were pretty sure we know we can deal with it safely"

"Everyone needs to agree on some reasonable limits to deployment or to further training, for this to work. Otherwise, you have the race dynamics where everyones trying to stay ahead, and that might require compromising on safety"

"This choice stems from my desire to deepen my focus on AI alignment, and to start a new chapter of my career where I can return to hands-on technical work."
