Sam Altman set to rejoin OpenAI as CEO
New board includes former Salesforce CEO and treasury secretary
I'd say that's unexpected, but nothing really is in this saga anymore. Yay public fuck ups! I can now put my popcorn down.
Wait so the story that he was hired by Microsoft wasn't real?!?!
Btw, I can now go to office and be absolutely confident because there's no way I can fuck up worse than these guys. Maybe if I delete the database of IRS, but my company is not involved in government's business at all....
The hiring was real. I think every step was real, but infused with separate fuck ups and miscommunication. This was a truly great story. PR students should write this down so they know what to not do.
So the board submitted a question to the AI about who should be the next CEO and it welcomed Altman back with open arms, am I right?
Not impossible :D
This is like a crappy plot you would see because there was a writers strike or something.
I'm not a big rollercoaster fan, and wow has this been a wild ride. I'll be over there, sick.
It's a good example of terrible PR, though.
Marketing team goes /shrug "Any publicity is good publicity"
I genuinely still do not understand why they fired him in the first place. Without consulting microsoft. Right after a huge conference about Microsoft’s commitment to AI.
What did the board expect to happen?
Probably good old incompetence. Someone said something, someone else overheard it, misunderstood it, blew it out of proportion and that shitbubble eventually reached the board. There was also something about the chief scientist being part of the coup.
Sigh. Perhaps you’re right. Everyday it becomes clearer that the world is run by idiots.

The same guy scanning peoples retinas running an AI company is textbook supervillian stuff
2023 isn't over yet, don't put the popcorn down!
