That was fast.
I’m not going to lie. I can’t keep up with all this. He’s CEO, he’s fired, he’s rehired, he’s not actually rehired, he now works at Microsoft. Talk about a crazy weekend
He was never rehired they were just having / arranging talks on the possibility
I have a lot more stock in Ilya Sutskever’s assessment than in either Altman’s or Nadella’s visions. I think the ouster was a good thing for OpenAI specifically and for AI in general.
I am not sure I trust Sutskever’s vision of closedness=safety but I say that the ability to do a move in the sake of OpenAI’s charter and in spite of huge financial incentives is certainly a strong point that gives me more confidence in them.

Sounds like it ended in a logical way for everyone: those not worried about their new corporate overlord joined it the others stayed at OpenAI.

Microsoft is hiring former OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and co-founder Greg Brockman.
Altman was fired from OpenAI on Friday, after the board said it “no longer has confidence in his ability to continue leading OpenAI.” After a weekend of negotiations to potentially bring Altman back to OpenAI, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella announced both Sam Altman and Greg Brockman will be joining Microsoft’s new advanced AI research team.
“We’re extremely excited to share the news that Sam Altman and Greg Brockman, together with colleagues, will be joining Microsoft to lead a new advanced AI research team,” says Nadella.
“We look forward to moving quickly to provide them with the resources needed for their success.”
