OpenAI coup! What a Drama!
-> OpenAI fires Altman & Brockman -> Microsoft & OpenAI investors try to get both back -> OpenAI hires Emmett Shear/Microsoft hires Altman & Brockman -> 500/700 OpenAI employees tell the board to resign
TLDR
Satya did tv interviews and was fine if Altman goes back to OpenAI
Salesforce’s Marc Benioff wrote a tweet saying he’ll match compensation of any OpenAI team member who wants to join Salesforce
Of some 750+ employees, 700 will move to Microsoft (with Sam) in case Sam doesn’t return. That’s insane.
Vinod Khosla an early investor in OpenAi tweeted that all the openai employees should quit in case their board members don’t resign
Interim ceo of openai Emmett Shear (formerly of Twitch) called for emergency all hands on Sunday and apparently no one turned up
Damn bro. I'd like to watch a movie made on this whole drama
Best one is the last point
Still can't understand why the board decided to fire Altman.
It can't be anything serious in terms of conduct, because everyone from Nadella to Benioff are welcoming the team with open arms.
It can't be unethical behaviour. 700 employees are ready to leave with Altman and Greg.
Security seems insignificant at this point - why would the nuke the company over a data breach? Contraversial, but not a reason to destroy the company overnight.
What even happened lol.
Urgently need give me ajob Microsoft company
