OpenAI board approached Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei about top job and merger, he denied

OpenAI's board approached Anthropic's CEO, Dario Amodei, about replacing ousted CEO Sam Altman and discussed a potential merger, sources say. Amodei declined both offers. After Altman's removal, there were calls for a successor. OpenAI declined to comment, and board member Adam D'Angelo did not respond. Ex-Twitch CEO Emmett Shear has accepted the role of interim CEO. Meanwhile, Altman and key OpenAI personnel are joining Microsoft. Almost all of OpenAI's 700 employees threatened to quit, and Anthropic's co-founders, former OpenAI executives, have diverged on AI development and governance.
