OpenAI board in discussions with Sam Altman to return as CEO
Altman is “ambivalent” and wants governance changes.
Okay so you fired someone, then decided later to bring them back. This means whatever guideline you use to fire people is floppy or petulant, you caved to public backlash, or the firing guidelines are clear but the information you took grave actions upon was bad (was unreliable and/or unverified).
Anyway, none of those things are good markers of leadership.
Edit: Forgot another reason for recanting a firing: your boss told you that you don’t have the authority. Nothing takes away your leadership teeth like that…
It was a board coup, led by the chief scientist over disagreement on monetization / speed of deployment. Minority investor Microsoft was super angry after they heard, probably put the pressure on them.
How is it that all these comments miss the fact that there are zero leaks from the board (even anonymously) that this is the case? This is so clearly a move by Altman and his supporters to chum the waters and make the board look incompetent (when there is no evidence to corroborate it). “People in the know” is what you say when you can’t be more specific and could literally be any from my Altman himself to disgruntled employees. You can bet your bottom dollar if they had a real line into the board you’d give something much less wishy-washy.
Stop reading headlines as facts people.
Even if the headlines are true, the reason to bring him back is internal backlash.
Maybe they just asked chatGPT who to hire.
Called it lol. This could be one of the greatest marketing coups of all time. Its all about the guerrilla marketing, ads are useless, everyones drowning in data and information, cha ching cha ching. Said the same thing about OnlyFans. Give people a show and they'll shower you back with their own gives

I dunno, it makes them look incompetent at running themselves. If I were an investor, I wouldn't want anything to do with them after that, nor if I were a potential or current customer.
But as I just finished saying to someone else, humans don't really make the most sensible decisions so it might work anyway
The magic 8-ball of the 21th century
That’s hilarious
this is peak comedy
I guess it might have helped if they gave clearer details on the firing
No one knows how to feel because they didn't explain what was up
So, folks, who can take over as CEO?
Well theres... (Looks at list of top people who immediately quit after the announcement) ... Aah shit.
I'll do it. I can save OpenAI.
Hey ChatGPT, can you write me a business plan for an AI company?
With ChatGPT literally anyone can be CEO these days, i would get rid of the board first
This is how you say “wait, shit, we fucked up” in Board of Directors.
Be interesting to see how many of them still have seats by Christmas.
Makes me remember how greeks made a rule to give capital punishment only after sleeping over the decision.
didn't know that. This is very interesting
lol. clown show
🤡
Well the two people who quit in solidarity must be feeling pretty cool right about now.
What if this was a plot to get them to quit...
I think its fake. This lie is a moat/cake
Not so folie á deux ;)
They got a look at how many were quitting on Monday and realized their whole company was screwed. This is how Sam will wipe out the board of directors, possibly with ownership percentage?
Based, seriously
Based is not the word I'd use for Altman
We need Armando Ianucci (The Thick of it, In the Loop, The Death of Stalin) to get the film rights to this when the dust settles. Holy shit what an opportunity to skewer high tech idiots and business idiocy in general.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
The OpenAI board is in discussions with Sam Altman to return to CEO, according to multiple people familiar with the matter.
One of them said Altman, who was suddenly fired by the board on Friday, is “ambivalent” about coming back and would want significant governance changes.

The bigger wtf is saying the article is only 47 words
Shoulda used ChatGPT.
Hahahahahahahahahaha
That was quick
