OpenAI Employees asks the board to resign!

- Just two of OpenAI’s 11 founding team members remain active, following a series of departures after a boardroom coup against CEO Sam Altman in November.
- Three co-founders have left this year, including John Schulman, who joined rival Anthropic, and Greg Brockman, who announced an extended leave.
- The high turnover rate, especially among senior figures, has raised questions about the $86bn company's direction amid fierce competition from Google and Anthropic.
- Some founders have joined rivals or started their own AI companies, while Elon Musk, a former member, has become a vocal critic.
- OpenAI had an unusually large founding team to build an AI supergroup, but recent events have significantly thinned their ranks.

OpenAI's Controversial Shift to For-Profit Amid Leadership Exodus

Legend says Sama refused to learn DSA for Microsoft Interview after getting inspired by some Indian LinkedIn Influencers.

Can someone confirm if Sama was asked DSA in his Microsoft interview ?

He tried joining google, but couldn't invert a binary tree 🌲

Software Developer

TLDR 
1. Satya did tv interviews and was fine if Altman goes back to OpenAI

2. Salesforce’s Marc Benioff wrote a tweet saying he’ll match compensation of any OpenAI team member who wants to join Salesforce 

3. Of some 750+ employees, 700 will move to Microsoft (with Sam) in case Sam doesn’t return. That’s insane. 

4. Vinod Khosla an early investor in OpenAi tweeted that all the openai employees should quit in case their board members don’t resign 

5. Interim ceo of openai  Emmett Shear (formerly of Twitch)  called for emergency all hands on Sunday and apparently no one turned up

Altman saga continues

- OpenAI's chief research officer Bob McGrew and research VP Barret Zoph have left the company, following CTO Mira Murati's exit.
- CEO Sam Altman announced the resignations and detailed leadership transition plans, promoting Mark Chen to SVP of research.
- Altman assured that the leadership changes were amicable and part of the company's natural evolution.
- The departures come amid reports of OpenAI transitioning to a for-profit entity, with Altman set to receive a 7% equity stake.
- OpenAI's all-hands meeting on Thursday is expected to reveal more details about the company's future direction.

OpenAI's chief research officer leaves following CTO Mira Murati's exit

OpenAI is nothing without its people /s

This will be the fate of every engineer or scientist if they don't learn proper people & stake holder management and let folks that know nothing tell them what to do. 
  
 Elon was the one that poached Ilya from Google. And that was pivotal for OpenAI. 
  
 Just because Sam had the contacts and became the face of Ilyas work in front of the world, Ilya couldn't do a thing when he felt his own company was doing something wrong. 
  
 This is a massive learning for all stupid engineers out there. 
  
 1. Don't let dumb product folk present your work. 
  
 2. Don't let someone else and most definitely not the irrelevant product folk to be the main Point of contact for your business leads. You are the product there, you are responsible for what you build. Show up in front of business now and then, take responsibility for mistakes. Listen to their issues solve a few of them and tell that you will solve it. (I know if you let that take over there will be lot of noise, but you have got to strike a balance not run.) 
  
 3. Start learning crisp communication and stand your ground. Those who have nothing real in tech come up with way too many fantasy ideas and either are impractical or sugar coat things too much. 
 You have got to stand your ground on the beliefs that you have because other non tech ones will not have the realistic view as you do and if you don't lead roadmaps out there, you are betraying your position.

Looking forward to seeing what does Google come up with after a stellar performance by OpenAI yesterday.

OpenAI has killed 10k+ Startups yesterday. Either Google stock going 🚀 or 🔻🔻

I know everyone’s talking about Nadella’s impressive grab of Altman and his guys and the inevitable fall of OpenAI. But has anyone given thought to the possible for all AGI for public good?  How autonomous is this R&D group really now that Altman is just another big tech employee. 

I worry for the future of GPTs and its open source nature. Gork is yet to prove itself to GPT-4. But Bing has never had a better chance to surpass Google than this. Interesting to see how Google react.(js) (lol)
