MODERATORS
This is the best summary I could come up with:
The uncertainty about people's futures extend to Mr Altman, with Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella telling CNBC that he might not be joining, adding he was "committed to OpenAI and Sam, irrespective of what configuration".
On Monday, Mr Nadella told CNBC "something has to change" at OpenAI - creator of the ChatGPT chatbot - but did not specify what that was, or rule out the tech giant getting a seat on the board.
The Microsoft chief executive's calm demeanour in a round of media interviews is in contrast to the tumult at OpenAI itself, where staff are in open revolt at Mr Altman's departure.
It has the two leaders of OpenAI, it has the ability to attract talent, it has the balance sheet, and it's building an insane computing infrastructure to the tune of $50bn.
The pair crossed paths years ago when they were involved with start-up investment programme Y Combinator - with a viral photo of them as part of a group spreading on social media.
Mr Shear co-founded the hit gaming site Twitch, and led it to become the dominant live-streaming website in the world, before selling the business to Amazon for an estimated $970m (£774m) in 2014.
