Sam Altman firing drama detailed in new book excerpt
An excerpt from the upcoming book “The Optimist: Sam Altman, OpenAi and the Race to Invent The Future” Offers new details About why the OpenAI sign in 2023 briefly dismissed CEO Sam Altman.
Written by Wall Street Journal Reporter Keach Hagey, claims the book that the Non -profit organization board members have increasingly been concerned after learning about issues such as an OpenAI Startup Fund that was actually personal property of Altman.
At the same time, co-founder Ilya Sutkever and CTO Mira Murati allegedly gathered proof of what they saw as Altman’s toxic and unfair behavior, complete with screenshots of Murati’s Slack Channel. Altman reportedly claimed that the legal department of the company said that GPT-4 Turbo did not have to be assessed by the Joint Safety Board, but denied the company’s top lawyer to say that.
After Sutskever had provided this proof to board members, they moved to Oust Altman and Murati appointed as interim -CEO. But this quickly failed, with OpenAi employees (including Sutkever and Murati) who signed a letter that demanded the return of Altman – what he quickly did, where Sutkever and Murati then leave to launch startups himself.
