Reacts: How Firing Sam Altman Might Lead To The End Of The World - Seriously w/ Emil Michael
On the 17th of November OpenAI announced on their blog that Sam Altman was fired.
This sent shockwaves throughout the startup ecosystem worldwide. What happened next was even more fireworks. Greg Brockman, the other co-founder was removed as president of the board then Mira Murati was appointed interim CEO. Greg quit as well as four other senior people. Investors including Microsoft has been in the dark and Mira Murati and has since tried to bring Sam and Greg back to OpenAI.
So what the hell is going on?
Wading through the speculation craziness of the last week are Chris and Yaniv joined by special guest and friend of the pod Emil Michael, former Chief Business Officer at Uber.
Was this because of AI safety from people with no skin in the game? An internal battle?
What is to become of OpenAI?
