So, you know how Sam Altman got the boot from OpenAI just a few days ago? Well, plot twist – he’s back! Yup, the rollercoaster took a spin, and now Altman is reclaiming his spot as the CEO.
But that’s not all. The whole board at OpenAI did a shuffle dance. Out with the old and in with a new temporary trio – Bret Taylor, Larry Summers, and good ol’ Adam D’Angelo. They’re here to lay the groundwork for a fresh permanent board with up to nine members. It’s like a governance makeover!
Altman spilled the beans in a post, saying he’s pumped to return and continue the OpenAI journey, especially their strong gig with Microsoft. Oh, and about joining Microsoft? Nah, not happening. Altman explained that, hey, decisions change, and he’s sticking with what feels right for him and the squad.
Microsoft’s big boss, Satya Nadella, gave a thumbs-up to the new board setup, hoping for stability and top-notch governance. And guess what? Thrive Capital, another player in the OpenAI game, thinks Altman’s comeback is the best thing for everyone – the company, the tech wizards, and the whole wide world.
