On Friday night, OpenAI cofounder and CEO Sam Altman was abruptly fired by the company's board. To say this was shocking is an understatement; Altman had just launched the fastest growing consumer tech product in history (ChatGPT), was in the process of leading the company to a soaring $85+ billion valuation, and was highly respected in and outside of the company.
The other shoe dropped Sunday night when Nadella announced Altman and Brockman were joining Microsoft to lead a 'new advanced AI research team,' and then again on Monday when nearly every one of OpenAI's 770 employees signed a letter threatening to follow Altman to Microsoft if the board members don't resign and reinstate the ousted leaders.
