Chief technology officer Mira Murati appointed interim CEO to lead OpenAI; Sam Altman departs the company. Search process underway to identify permanent successor.

    Mr. Altman’s departure follows a deliberative review process by the board, which concluded that he was not consistently candid in his communications with the board, hindering its ability to exercise its responsibilities. The board no longer has confidence in his ability to continue leading OpenAI.

    Scandal incoming?

        While that’s terrible, I doubt it’s what brought him down. This is from 2021 and it would have been easy for Altman to dismiss her as someone as someone who has mental issues, making it up etc. He has the money and backing for it. I suspect there’s way more below what we see here.

        It has to be something else that hasn’t been revealed yet.

            Those allegations have been floating since ~2021, I don’t think openai would suddenly decide to take emergency action on them 2+ years later.

            Brockman was also taken off the board so this seems unlikely.

            No, something from a month ago already publicized isn’t likely to cause them to fire them like this.

        Is this the real explanation as to why “AI” is so sexist and racist?

            Generative AI just codifies the biases it was trained with so this is spot on

          It’s very well documented that machine learning will have the same biases its training set does. Years ago this was a big deal when Google tried to use ML for hiring but it kept ending up racist.

      I feel like there must be. And for the board to move this fast it’s probably financial.

        It’s serious enough that they immediately cut ties and publicly accuse him of dishonesty, to me that suggests it’s probably something illegal.

        I agree, maybe OpenAI has been bleeding money and the board had no idea until now.

          I could be wrong but these days the longest you could go on having no idea is about a week. And that’s if you are really not that engaged. Companies like this run on financial statements.
