The departure of OpenAI’s CTO, Mira Murati, isn’t just a blip—it seems to signal deeper turmoil within one of the most important companies of our time. As Sam Altman continues to dominate the headlines and shape OpenAI’s future, the exits of key figures raise questions about the company’s internal dynamics. Is Altman’s leadership style pushing people out, or is OpenAI’s shift from nonprofit to profit the real cause of this brain drain?
