We’re excited to welcome the following new donors to OpenAI: Jed McCaleb(opens in a new window), Gabe Newell(opens in a new window), Michael Seibel(opens in a new window), Jaan Tallinn(opens in a new window), and Ashton Eaton(opens in a new window) and Brianne Theisen-Eaton(opens in a new window). Reid Hoffman(opens in a new window) is significantly increasing his contribution. Pieter Abbeel(opens in a new window) (having completed his sabbatical with us), Julia Galef(opens in a new window), and Maran Nelson(opens in a new window) are becoming advisors to OpenAI. Additionally, Elon Musk will depart the OpenAI Board but will continue to donate and advise the organization. As Tesla continues to become more focused on AI, this will eliminate a potential future conflict for Elon.
