95% of OpenAI employees have threatened to quit in standoff with board::OpenAI’s future hangs in the balance as staff says they’ll join former CEO at Microsoft.
Do it! Do it you bootlickers!!! I’d have way more sympathy if this was over a union fight but this is just cult behavior and is really creepy - for the love of God I hope they do it - I wanna see this implode in on itself
They only give a damn about their RSUs/stock options. Altman is a profiteer who will make them more money.
Do or don’t, Microsoft still win anyway. WinGPT incoming…
- Microsoft partnership with OpenAI
- Microsoft hires brain of OpenAI
- OpenAI employees threaten to quit - and then do
- OpenAI value tumbles
- Microsoft buys open AI for the IP
- The Board gets a sweet golden parachute from the buyout despite tanking the company.
I’m pretty ignorant about all this, but this type of loyalty to one guy feels very cult-like. Do the employees actually think this guy gives a shit about them?
Also, the rumours say that the board wants a careful approach while Altman wants to blast ahead without ethical concerns. I’m definitely not on his side
Employees are joining in the coup in the hope of joining Microsoft. I wonder if Microsoft is gonna pull a rug on them and only hire the key employees in the pack and ditch the rest of them
They’ve already been guaranteed spots at Microsoft, by Microsoft. There’s no need for them to pull some 4D chess move.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
The future of OpenAI remained uncertain on Tuesday after extraordinary efforts by employees and investors to oust the board had so far failed to persuade its directors to resign and reinstate co-founder Sam Altman.
People with direct knowledge of the matter said that by the end of Monday, 747 out of 770 OpenAI employees had signed a letter threatening to quit and join Microsoft if the board refused to resign and reverse their decision on Friday to sack Altman.
Venture capitalists backing the generative artificial intelligence start-up were also exploring legal measures to force the board to reverse course, according to multiple people with knowledge of their thinking.
Ilya Sutskever, the last remaining co-founder on the board and OpenAI’s chief scientist, signed the letter from staff after apologizing on social media for his role in firing Altman.
In a social media post on Monday, Marc Benioff, chief executive of software company Salesforce, asked OpenAI researchers to send him their CVs and offered to match their salaries.
Altman has a nuclear fission venture and a cryptocurrency project and has sought to start a device company and a chip business, according to people with knowledge of the matter.
