Details emerge of surprise board coup that ousted CEO Sam Altman at OpenAI

OpenAI shocked the tech community by firing CEO Sam Altman and precipitating the resignation of President Greg Brockman and three senior scientists, allegedly orchestrated by Chief Scientist Ilya Sutskever. Internal disagreements reportedly arose over Altman's fast pace of commercialization and growth, with Sutskever advocating for caution. The move deeply affected Microsoft, a key investor, and raised questions about OpenAI's development of artificial general intelligence (AGI). Additional scrutiny is focused on accusations made against Altman regarding his communication with the board, and the fallout has seen the departure of three AI researchers loyal to Altman.

There's one signature on OpenAI's clapback against Elon Musk that people are buzzing about

OpenAI has responded to Elon Musk's allegations that its partnership with Microsoft goes against its initial mission as an open-source nonprofit. The response, which included snapshots of emails between Musk and OpenAI executives, was signed by five people including Ilya Sutskever. This is the first time Sutskever's involvement with OpenAI has been made public in months. Last year, Sutskever was involved in firing OpenAI co-founder Sam Altman, but later reversed his position and expressed regret. Musk had previously offered Sutskever a position at his own AI startup, xAI. Given Sutskever's role in OpenAI's response, it is unlikely he will accept Musk's offer now.
