> Sam Altman will depart as CEO and leave the board of directors. Mira Murati, the company’s chief technology officer, will serve as interim CEO, effective immediately.

> 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.

Wow

OpenAI’s one of the most successful companies of this decade, if not the most, and its CEO just got fired for really unclear reasons. Insane, Steve Jobs shit

Altman is not the reason for their success. I would not place him in the same sentence as SJ.

Correct on Altman, the success belongs to the Internet for its (our) data, code, ideas, videos, content that it subsumed using nothing more elaborate than traditional modeling and a ton of RAM and storage.

That’s an invalid argument. The mere existence of a resource doesn’t render work related to analyzing, extracting, or utilizing that resource insignificant, irrelevant or reduce value created.

Just because the oil is in the ground doesn’t mean the crew pumping it didn’t work hard.
