Communication Attempts Ongoing
Top management is trying to unify the staff, and the company is communicating with incoming CEO Emmett Shear, the board of directors, and Altman.
Tensions Remain High
Following Altman’s departure, threats have been made by most of the staff to quit if the current board does not resign and reinstate Altman and co-founder Greg Brockman.
No Response from Board Yet
Makanju noted that discussions would continue on Tuesday and tried to assure employees that “we have a plan that we are working toward.”
Board Member Regrets Decision
One board member posted on Twitter that he regrets being part of the decision that led to the termination of Altman. Altman reposted it with a “heart” emoji.
Altman’s Future and Microsoft’s Role
Altman and Brockman were hired by Microsoft only three days after the news of their termination. The CEO of Microsoft, Satya Nadella, announced that the two will join the company to lead a new “advanced AI research team”
After Nadella’s announcement, Altman shared that his top priority is ensuring OpenAI continues to thrive and that they are committed to continuous operations, partnerships, and customer relations.
Hot Take
The situation within OpenAI seems tense, with former CEO Sam Altman’s departure causing turmoil within the company. Despite this, efforts to reunify the staff are ongoing, demonstrating a commitment to resolving the upheaval. This situation will likely continue to unfold, and the involvement of Microsoft promises interesting developments for the future.
