Episode: 84 Published: 12/07/2023

The Altman of It All

There���s a lot of players involved in the latest card shuffle over at OpenAI, and it���s no wonder this mess is making headlines. It���s not every week you see a CEO ousted, hired by Microsoft, and then hired back by their previous company who then replaces their entire board. So how did this happen? Is it just an example of pure human blundering? Is it proof of some hidden puppet-master organization pulling the strings at OpenAI? Or is it the somewhat predictable fallout of OpenAI���s changing corporate structure? Tune in to find out!

• I have no idea what Venngage does, but they sure did create a handy dandy timeline of these events
• According to OpenAI, Sam Altman was fired for not being consistently candid in his communications with the board
• How Microsoft got involved in this mess in the first place, to the tune of one billion dollars
• Meet the new board members at OpenAI
