After being ousted by OpenAI, the former CEO Altman said that if he "opened fire", the board of directors would make a claim.
CTOnews.com, November 18, Beijing time this afternoon, former CEO Sam Altman, who was ousted by OpenAI earlier, once again announced on the X platform that if he "opened fire", OpenAI's board of directors would recover the full value of his holdings from him. (if i start going off, the openai board should go after me for the full value of my shares)
The general context of the events attached to CTOnews.com is as follows:
According to Greg Brockmann, former president and co-founder of OpenAI, Sam received a text message from chief scientist Ilya Sutskever last night (Thursday night local time) asking for a conversation at noon on Friday. Sam attended a Google Meet meeting and the whole board of directors was present except Greg. Elijah told Sam that he would be fired, and the news would soon get out.
(local time, same below) at 12:19 at noon, Greg received a text message from Elijah asking for a quick call back.
At 12:23, Elijah sent a Google Meet link. Greg was told that he would be removed from the board (but he was vital to the company and would retain his position) and that Sam had been fired. At about the same time, OpenAI published a blog post.
The management team soon realized this, except for interim CEO Mira Murati (Mira Murati), who had discovered it the night before.
The public news earlier today, Beijing time.
On Friday, local time, OpenAI announced that Sam Altman would resign as chief executive and leave the board and be replaced by technology director Mira Murati Murati, effective immediately.
OpenAI's board of directors said in a blog post that the "review process" concluded that Altman had not been consistent and honest with the board in his communication with the board, hindering the board's ability to carry out its duties. "the board no longer has confidence in his ability to continue to lead OpenAI."
Altman's X post: "I love my time at OpenAI. It's revolutionary for myself, and I hope it can change the world. Most importantly, I like working with these talented people. I have more details to say later."
