Sam Altman will lead new Microsoft AI team. OpenAI board names interim CEO
(www.washingtonpost.com)
What the duck. This is completely bizarre. Investors in OpenAI are going to replace that board and the valuation is going to tank. Microsoft just purchased their most important piece of IP and went from a minority stockholder to a major player.
This, the event timeline is truly bizarre. Initially I thought surely Sam has done something stupid. And then the next day we hear about the board trying to hire him back. And now this. Some proper fuck up on their end.
From Cambridge Dictionary:
unnecessary actions or words that have little meaning and make something seem more important or complicated than it really is
