In the early hours of November 20th, Sam Altman posted on social media, "This is the first and last time I wear these." He was wearing an OpenAI badge with the word "Guest 04" written on it. Currently, Sam is at the headquarters of OpenAI.
On the 19th, Sam posted, "I really like the OpenAI team." Combined with the pressure exerted by major investors such as Microsoft on the OpenAI board, Sam's return is only a matter of time.
If Sam returns, the OpenAI board will restructure its current members to avoid similar incidents.
OpenAI's Chief Strategy Officer Jason Kwon also posted, confirming that Sam has returned to OpenAI.
According to the latest news from Bloomberg, major shareholders of OpenAI, Microsoft, as well as Sequoia Capital, Tiger Global Management, and other major investors, hope for Sam Altman's return to OpenAI.
As part of Sam Altman's reinstatement as CEO, investors are also urging for a change in the current board of directors. The directors had considered resigning, but they are currently hesitant, and the final plan is yet to be determined due to the unstable situation.
If the board of directors resigns, investors will review a new list of board members. One strong contender is former co-CEO of Salesforce, Bret Taylor.
Sequoia Capital is the second largest shareholder after Microsoft and had recently planned to acquire OpenAI employee shares, but halted the plan upon learning of Sam's dismissal.
In addition, OpenAI's Chairman and co-founder Greg Brockman announced his resignation upon learning of Sam's departure. Three senior researchers at OpenAI, Director Jakub Pachocki, Head of AI Risk Assessment Aleksander Madry, and researcher Szymon Sidor, who had worked at the company for 7 years, also announced their departure. Some employees of OpenAI are also pressuring the leadership, threatening to resign if Sam is not reinstated.
Furthermore, a memo shared by OpenAI's Chief Operating Officer Brad Lightcap indicated that the board's decision was not in response to any misconduct or anything related to our financial, business, security, or privacy practices. It was simply a miscommunication between Sam and the board.
The following is the original memo:
We were all shocked by Sam's departure. We have had multiple conversations with the board, trying to better understand the reasons and process behind their decision. Discussions and options for our future path are still ongoing this morning.
We can say with certainty that the board's decision was not due to any misconduct or anything related to our financial, business, security, or privacy practices. It was a miscommunication between Sam and the board. Our position as a company remains very strong, and Microsoft's commitment to our collaboration remains strong.
Mira has our full support as CEO. We still have concerns about some aspects of the handling of this process, and we are working to address these and will provide updates as we can.
I'm sure you are all feeling confused, sad, and perhaps even a little scared. We are working hard to resolve all of this, push for resolution and clarity, and get back to work.
Our collective responsibility now is to our team members, partners, users, customers, and those who share our vision of AI that benefits humanity broadly. Hang in there, we support you 1000%.
