Sam Altman Fired From OpenAI - Sam Altman Shocked and Saddened After He Was Fired as CEO of OpenAI
Altman and former OpenAI President Greg Brockman are still trying to figure out what happened.
BBC 18 NOV 2023
Sam Altman and Greg Brockman were "shocked and saddened by what the board did" and are still trying to figure out what exactly happened.
The former CEO and the former President of OpenAI have published a post on X, sharing the details of what they do know and how they found out the former was being fired.
Apparently, company co-founder Ilya Sutskever invited Altman for a meeting at noon on Friday, which was then attended by the whole board except for Brockman. It was at that meeting that Altman found out he was being fired and that OpenAI was going to announce it "very soon."
Shortly after that, Sutskever reportedly invited Brockman to a separate Google Meet conference, where he was told that Altman had gotten fired and that he was being removed from the board.
However, the board members told him that he was "vital to the company and would retain his role." Brockman chose to quit on his own.
The two former OpenAI executives also said that the rest of the company's management team outside of interim CEO Mira Murati only found out about the board's decision after Altman was already removed from his post.
"The outpouring of support has been really nice; thank you, but please don’t spend any time being concerned," their joint statement reads. "We will be fine. Greater things coming soon."
