OpenAI’s trust and safety lead, Dave Willner, has left the position, as announced via a Linkedin post.
This development also underscores the importance of prioritizing work-life balance in the technology industry.
Dave Willner started working at Facebook in 2008, back when social media companies were making up their rules as they went along. As the company's head of content policy, it was Willner who wrote Facebook's first official community standards more than a decade ago, turning what he has said was an informal one-page list that mostly boiled down to a ban on "Hitler and naked people" into what is now a voluminous catalog of slurs, crimes and other grotesqueries that are banned across all of Meta's platforms.
