It's amazing that OpenAI's board shit the bed so badly this past weekend that even Apple has to reassure people they have plans in place to not mess up major leadership changes.

Comparing the two is insane.

I mean, didn’t they already do this to Steve Jobs back in the 80s?

Maybe not so far-fetched, seeing as Apple did it first, after all… ;-)

Apple, the OG tech company known for firing their founder CEO and then bringing him back

Any good sources for this? Would love read about it.

Here is a pretty neutral write up that doesn’t indulge in too much theorizing.

Thanks brother. I hope you are enjoying the long weekend

I don't think it was the board. I mean Microsoft needed OpenAI resources. And suddenly hurricane swoops inside the company. It's not difficult to connect the dots.

Yeah seriously. OpenAI has been one of the most successful companies on Earth in the last year, the fact that they've had so much turmoil is bizarre!

I think it’s important to make the distinction that it’s not a company, but a non profit whose mission is “To ensure that artificial general intelligence benefits all of humanity”

I think altman and its employees are looking to monetize this rather than benefit all of humanity, while the board is interested in sticking to the founding mission.
