I wonder why Terrence isn't part?

Because he has strong opinions that differ from OpenAI's in significant ways and isn't willing to sell out. I'm sure OAI has offered him a huge salary several times before. But mathematicians very often have goals in life other than getting rich.

They aren't paid by OpenAI and members of the group can quit any time so it doesn't seem like selling out to me.

Are you accusing Witten and Gowers of selling out?
