An OpenAI safety employee has quit and is sounding the alarm
Former OpenAI safety-report author David Robinson resigned and warned that frontier labs need nuclear-grade operational safeguards.
David Robinson, who wrote the safety reports accompanying major OpenAI model releases, resigned and published an editorial in The Atlantic arguing that industry safety culture is broken. He says frontier labs operate with extreme confidence and perpetual sprints, and that rules alone will not fix underestimated risks. He calls for nuclear-plant or airport-style redundancy so ordinary human error cannot cause disaster. The article places his exit alongside recent public departures from Anthropic and Google DeepMind.
