the OpenAI board was in discussions with Sam Altman to return as CEO, just a day after he was ousted.
He must be laughing so hard now… :-)
That hasn’t been confirmed at all. No one from the board has commented even anonymously as far as I’ve seen. This is a play by Altman and his supporters to try and influence public opinion and make the board seem incompetent.
Maybe, but then it’s a genius move, and he can still laugh at them.
All the world was quite busy with learning the name ‘OpenAI’ during the last months. But OpenAI is history.
The world is learning the name ‘Sam Altman’ now.
Curious why the down votes? I think it’s fair to say this news has been pretty remarkable and has even made it on the news stations. I think a lot of people are probably learning his name right now and makes him seem ‘valuable’ if the board asks him to come back.

Maybe. Allegedly MS is throwing their weight around to try to force it, which does seem plausible.
Though I hope the board stands firm.
Ilya is much more valuable long term to the company than Altman, and frankly the latter leaving is the first time in about a year I’ve been bullish about OpenAI’s prospects.
They really walked their core product back in the past few months despite expanding their productization of it towards low hanging short-term fruit.
Ilya’s vision is spot on with where transformers are headed as complexity increases, and is one of the only scientists I’ve seen that really sees that horizon.
If Altman was standing in the way of getting there, it’s better that he’s gone.
