After Ilya Sutskever and Jan Leike left the company on the week of May 13th, there are no rumoured major departures (like Ilya's was for a long time).
The market will resolve "Yes" if any of these people announce their departure from the company.
any C-suite executive
any co-founder who has not already departed before Ilya
any board member (as of May 18th)
any "head of X" type person
general counsel
Transitioning into a non-active role such as advisor also counts as a departure, but a "disappearance" or sabbatical such as Ilya's does not, until it is announced as a departure.
Departures of VP's, managers and engineers does not count.
Such a departure will be clear and public, announced by the person, the company, or Sam Altman.

Since this person has not left the company, this does not clear the market.
However an executive leaving seems more in play -- perhaps...
Market re-opened. Sorry about that.
Any of these would qualify as an executive leaving. As described in the original rules... "lead of X" is not an executive. But "head of X" would be. The difference between executive and a manager...
any C-suite executive
any co-founder who has not already departed before Ilya
any board member (as of May 18th)
any "head of X" type person
general counsel
Market resolved YES.
Daniel Levy left OpenAI to co-found SSI with Ilya and Daniel Gross.
Daniel listed himself as "head of optimization" at OpenAI so this counts as a "head of" person.

I'm going to push back against this resolution and say that "I lead the Optimization team" should not count as executive level. To me, that indicates a normal manager who oversees a single team. I think most people would not consider all managers to be executives. I also think "leading team X" is different from "head of X", where to me the latter connotes a larger group than a single team. Of course different companies organize themselves in different ways though.
Daniel Levy just left to cofound SSI with Ilya. His bio said “I currently lead the Optimization team at OpenAI.”
OpenAI keeps hiring more Execs and adding more board members. At some point… gotta let someone go too?
No reports of any executives leaving yet. But OpenAI did hire two new executives today. Described as a "shake up"
Including their first ever CFO.
