> I'm not aware of the machine learning researchers responsible for the core technology threatening to leave. Who were they?

Ilya Sutskever, Alec Radford, Wojciech Zaremba, Nick Ryder, Mark Chen, ... how many names do you want? >90% of the company threatened to leave.

Sutskever was one of the people who fired Altman to begin with.

It’s so much weirder than that. Reportedly, Greg Brockman’s wife begged him in tears to change his mind. Ilya presided over their wedding.
