Comment on OpenAI brings Sam Altman back as CEO less than a week after he was fired by board
PeachMan@lemmy.world 10 months agoThe entire company (literally almost all the employees) threatened to quit and take jobs at Microsoft if he wasn’t reinstated and the board removed. And that’s exactly what has happened.
I don’t really have an opinion on this Sam guy or why his employees want to drink his bathwater, but it’s an interesting example of the employees of a company unifying behind somebody.

I haven’t seen that take yet, got any links?
I’m not trying to defend the guy, just actually curious

He’s a financial venture capitalist type who made open AI closed source, and tried to pressure the EU into not regulating.
He’s your typical shitbag tech CEO masquerading as a genius. Employees want him back because it’s better for their RSUs/stock options. Bunch of greedy assholes from top to bottom.

Have you heard of that creepy orb thing that was installed in a bunch of African developing countries that traded a shitcoin cryptocurrency that is worth nothing and constantly loses more and more value, in exchange for appropriating people’s biometric data, that additionally has never said why they want it or what they want to do with all of that information?
That’s this guy. He’s the creator and owner of that thing. Dude is a comic supervillain.
