Comment on OpenAI board in discussions with Sam Altman to return as CEO
slaacaa@lemmy.world 10 months agoIt was a board coup, led by the chief scientist over disagreement on monetization / speed of deployment. Minority investor Microsoft was super angry after they heard, probably put the pressure on them.

What many people seems to forgot it OpenAI began as a non-profit organization to advance AI in a manner that don’t dangerously disrupt the society, and many scientists join them because they strongly relate to those early ideals.

This smells like an ethics fight. Altman has been chasing monetization and releasing commercial products in a way the board doesn’t feel is ethical or in line with their charter.
Microsoft would very much like to continue commercializing this and they’re either going to neuter this board or take their ball and make their own ChatGPT with blackjack and hookers.
