OpenAI fires Sam Altman... The SHOCKING truth

On Friday, Nov 17, 2023, the entire tech industry was shocked to hear the OpenAI board ousted Sam Altman from his own company. He got kicked out of the $90 billion startup he helped build—and Mira Murati is now the interim CEO.

In this episode, we'll delve into the feud between Ilya Sutskever and Sam Altman that caused Sam to get fired. Ilya was the highest executive at the company to oppose his direction—he felt Sam was moving too quickly to commercialize the products they'd built at the expense of safety.

The issue here isn't necessarily the board, but it's around the disagreements between the founders and what's best for humanity.

Nov 21 update:
- Sam Altman and Greg Brockman are back at OpenAI
- Sam has agreed to a full investigation into what happened
- New board consists of Bret Taylor (Former Co-CEO of Salesforce, former chair of Twitter's board, former CTO of Facebook), Larry Summers (Treasury secretary), and Adam D'Angelo (Only remaining board member from the original, CEO of Quora)
