tldr: Sama stepped down, Chief technology officer Mira Murati appointed interim CEO to lead OpenAI
What do we make of it?

Probably not a good sign. Investors probably want someone who is more conventional and mainstream, to drive more profit.
He is the one who pushed for the crippling censoring “alignment”
tldr: Sama stepped down,
No, he was fired.
Mr. Altman’s departure follows a deliberative review process by the board, which concluded that he was not consistently candid in his communications with the board, hindering its ability to exercise its responsibilities. The board no longer has confidence in his ability to continue leading OpenAI.
That’s as close to “he lied to us so we fired his ass” as you’re ever going to hear from a corporate board.
Looks like a more pro-government guy is taking the seat. More restrictions, more surveillance, censorship, more misuse of personal data, manipulation and propaganda. Hopefully alternatives to gpt 4 will see the light of day soon
not even an hour , and mira’s wiki page is already updated. this is wild
They going to make it open again? They forgot their mission.,
No the opposite, only Ilya Sutskever is left from the founders on the board since Greg Brockman quit too. It will be more closed up and profit oriented to keep AI “safe”.
They will open the capped profit.
We’ll see about this.
I think this is overall negative, i get the sense that there is a glass ceiling…
good news, if openai really opens up
Probably the opposite will happen.
What gives you that expression, looks like completely the opposite. Now only Ilya left on the board, Greg Brockman quit too. It looks more and more like a normal corporate board.
The founder is thrown out of the company when new investors gain control. That’s life.
This will be about AI safety.
The irony now is that Grok will have the latest info on this as people are tweeting about it
RIP OpenAI.
Sounds like he LIED to the board and the kicked him off. What did he lie about? Did they crack AGI, or is the board upset that Altman appears to be pro-regulation?
Sounds like he LIED to the board and the kicked him off.
That’s my take, too.
It seems he told them things that sounded really good, but weren’t actually true.
A bit like LLM inference, that.
My guess is some kind of exploit, feature or flaw that he knew about with potential PR impacts, that he didn’t tell them. Something akin to knowing Bing would go Sydney.
Did the AI coordinate his sacking?
Look at the board members. It’s Open Philanthropy/Effective Altruism coup to prevent AI progress, not these mundane concerns like accounting.
