- David Robinson, a leader on OpenAI's Safety Systems team, resigned last week.
- Robinson, who had previously led policy planning at OpenAI, published an essay suggesting the company doesn't have enough humility.
Why it matters: Robinson's resignation from the Safety Systems team is notable because he paired it with a published essay publicly suggesting the company lacks humility — turning a private departure into an on-the-record critique that now exists outside OpenAI's messaging.
