I didn't expect the overwhelming support from the public and OpenAI employees when I spoke out against the company's practices; it was a surprising and uplifting experience that exceeded my expectations.

OpenAI attracted talent by promising that researchers' work wouldn't be locked away but shared with the world, unlike at Google.

After my treatment, I realized that my job at Google had evolved away from building products for users, and I wanted to work with people who were innovating the future.

I funded OpenAI with around 50 million dollars, intending it to be an open-source, non-profit organization to counter the closed-source, for-profit model of companies like Google.

I feel grateful for the opportunity to lead OpenAI, but the experience has been more overwhelming than I initially anticipated.

I was drawn to OpenAI because of its mission to develop artificial general intelligence (AGI), which I believe is the most important technology we can build.

When we started OpenAI, I was convinced that deep learning was genuinely working and that it improved with scale. This realization was crucial because it seemed like others weren't recognizing its potential.

Google's recent advancements in AI, particularly with their Gemini model, demonstrate their commitment to reclaiming leadership in the AI space after OpenAI's initial success.

The creation of OpenAI was driven by the desire to ensure AI development was open and beneficial to the broader startup ecosystem.
