I guess it might have helped if they gave clearer details on the firing
No one knows how to feel because nothing was said
paulzy@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Maybe they just asked chatGPT who to hire.

Called it lol. This could be one of the greatest marketing coups of all time lol

I dunno, it makes them look incompetent at running themselves. If I were an investor, I wouldn’t want anything to do with them after that, nor if I were a potential or current customer.
But as I just finished saying to someone else, humans don’t really make the most sensible decisions so it might work anyway

So, folks, who can take over as CEO?
Well theres… (Looks at list of top people who immediately quit after the announcement) … Aah shit.
BarrierWithAshes@kbin.social 11 months ago
I'll do it. I can save OpenAI.

Hey ChatGPT, can you write me a business plan for an AI company?
Contend6248@feddit.de 11 months ago
With ChatGPT literally anyone can be CEO these days, i would get rid of the board

This is how you say “wait, shit, we fucked up” in Board of Directors.
Be interesting to see how many of them still have seats by Christmas.

Makes me remember how greeks made a rule to give capital punishment only after sleeping over the decision.
abobla@lemm.ee 11 months ago
didn’t know that. This is very interesting
livus@kbin.social 11 months ago
Well the two people who quit in solidarity must be feeling pretty cool right about now.

What if this was a plot to get them to quit…
cheese_greater@lemmy.world 11 months ago
I think its fake. This lie is a moat/cake
cheese_greater@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Not so folie á deux ;)
Tygr@lemmy.world 11 months ago
They got a look at how many were quitting on Monday and realized their whole company was screwed. This is how Sam will wipe out the board of directors, possibly with ownership percentage?

Based

Based is not the word I’d use for Altman

We need Armando Ianucci (The Thick of it, In the Loop, The Death of Stalin) to get the film rights to this when the dust settles. Holy shit what an opportunity to skewer high tech idiots and business idiocy in general.

This is the best summary I could come up with:
The OpenAI board is in discussions with Sam Altman to return to CEO, according to multiple people familiar with the matter.
One of them said Altman, who was suddenly fired by the board on Friday, is “ambivalent” about coming back and would want significant governance changes.
Developing…

saved 0%? Wtf?
stifle867@programming.dev 11 months ago
The bigger wtf is saying the article is only 47 words

Shoulda used ChatGPT.

Hahahahahahahahahaha

That was quick

Okay so you fired someone, then decided later to bring them back. This means whatever guideline you use to fire people is floppy or petulant, you caved to public backlash, or the firing guidelines are clear but the information you took grave actions upon was bad (was unreliable and/or unverified).
Anyway, none of those things are good markers of leadership.

It 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.

Like when Michael tried to fire Kitty.
cheese_greater@lemmy.world 11 months ago
What was her schtick again, the flashing + “say goodbye to these”? Must rewatch
mr_tyler_durden@lemmy.world 11 months ago
How is it that all these comments miss the fact that there are zero leaks from the board (even anonymously) that this is the case? This is so clearly a move by Altman and his supporters to chum the waters and make the board look incompetent (when there is no evidence to corroborate it). “People in the know” is what you say when you can’t be more specific and could literally be any from my Altman himself to disgruntled employees. You can bet your bottom dollar if they had a real line into the board you’d give something much less wishy-washy.
Stop reading headlines as facts people.

Even if the headlines are true, the reason to bring him back is internal backlash.
