Bc “the ai so dangerous and powerful he had to quit for moral reasons” sends a signal to investors about capabilities. And it could totally be legit. It’s hard to say. I feel like once a researcher is truly ringing the alarm bells no one will look bc it’s been done so many times already. It’s unfortunate imho

At this point I wouldn't be surprised if they said to him "I will give you a million and your job back after IPO if you resign".
To be clear, I don't believe this is what happened here, I'm typing this half jokingly, just I wouldn't be surprised.
