“ Tworek reveals that he found it hard to keep doing high-risk, pioneering work at OpenAI as the company shifted toward what Tworek describes as more conservative ways. ” Maybe it's a good thing Jerry left to be able to speed things up among the labs

Jerry Tworek (@MillionInt) agrees with Ilya. AI is entering an “Age of Research” and new breakthroughs are needed. Implied is that the reason Jerry left OpenAI is that OpenAI is trying to exploit the current paradigm rather than explore a new one.
