After Sam Altman’s shocking firing, OpenAI employees called on the board to quit, BBC reported on Monday. They write about the board’s incompetence and erosion of the firm’s work. According to the story, numerous senior business personnel signed the letter and initiated a “support campaign” on X, where several members wrote a similar message: “OpenAI is nothing without its people.”

The IT world was shaken by Altman’s abrupt expulsion from his AI business. My Openai experience was great. I was transformed, and hopefully the world was too. I loved working with talented individuals most. Will discuss future steps later “After his removal, Altman posted on X.

“I adore you all. Today was strange in many ways. It’s been like reading your own eulogy while living, which is surprising. Great love pours out. He mentioned in ‘X’ posts to tell pals how awesome they are.

Later on X, formerly Twitter, OpenAI’s principal scientist Ilya Sutskever, one of the board members who fired him, admitted he made a mistake. “I truly regret my board involvement. I never intended to harm OpenAI. He wrote, “I love everything we’ve built together and will do everything I can to reunite the company”. Reports say Sutskever signed the letter demanding for the board he sits on to be fired.

But the biggest surprise was Monday’s announcement by Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella that Altman will join his “new advanced AI research team”.

Despite the rift between ChatGPT’s main players and the firm they helped develop, Shear and Microsoft Chairman and CEO Satya Nadella indicated they are dedicated to their cooperation.

Microsoft gave the business billions of dollars and computer power for its AI algorithms. On X, formerly Twitter, Nadella stated that he was “extremely excited” to hire OpenAI’s former leaders and looked forward to getting to know Shear and the management team.

Altman replied on X, “the mission continues,” while Brockman said, “We are going to build something new & it will be incredible.”
