“Sam Altman Firing Saga: Explosive Details Revealed in New Book Excerpt!”
Friends, there is an interesting section in the upcoming book **”The Optimist: Sam Altman, OpenAI and the Race for Future Inventions”** which explains why the OpenAI board temporarily removed CEO Sam Altman in 2023.
This book, written by Wall Street Journal reporter Keith Hagey, claims that the board members’ concern grew when they learned that a nonprofit organization’s OpenAI startup fund was privately owned by Altman.
Additionally, co-founder Ilya Sutskever and CTO Mira Murati were gathering information they considered evidence of Altman’s misleading and incorrect behavior. This included some screenshots from Murati’s Slack channel. For instance, Altman had stated that according to the company’s legal department, GPT-4 Turbo does not require a review from the Joint Safety Board, but the company’s chief lawyer rejected this claim.
When Sutskever showed the board members this evidence, they decided to remove Altman and make Murati the interim CEO. However, this decision was quickly reversed as OpenAI employees (including Sutskever and Murati) signed a letter demanding Altman’s return. Ultimately, Altman came back, and later Sutskever and Murati left OpenAI to start their own startup.
