Sam Altman has been fired as CEO of OpenAI, the company announced on Friday.
“Mr. Altman’s departure follows a deliberative review process by the board, which concluded that he was not consistently candid in his communications with the board, hindering its ability to exercise its responsibilities,” the company said in its blog post.

He hallucinated to the board.
CEO? Fuck him. He’ll be just fine.
My guess — and this is pure conjecture — MS canned him because Bing didn’t eat Google’s lunch.

I am actually very surprised. Did not see this coming.
Oh no, anyways
This is unprecedented. They let that schmuck at Unity “retire” on a holiday but they fired Sam. Oof.
It sounds like there was a power struggle over the direction of OpenAI.
On one hand, this was posted 15 minutes before you posted this… on the other hand, this is a much clearer headline
Really? I searched by new before I posted, saw nothing about Sam Altman.
EDITED TO ADD you can color me blind, because yeah, there’s one titled “OpenAI announces leadership transition” right before mine. Shit. Not sure how to handle this, but if the mods want to delete mine they can.
Not sure how to handle this,
In times of great dishonor, the Samurai would commit seppuku with their sword.
I have half a plastic knife I use on the cat food . . . will that do?
Only if you post the video
I think I’m gonna need to upgrade my current drug regimen . . . be right back . . .
That sucks, and weirdly sudden too. I don’t like OpenAI but I do like Altman. I saw a lot of the videos he makes and he strikes me as someone that knows what he’s doing and, despite running it as a business, genuinely cares.
It’s so alarming that he would get suddenly fired when the company is doing so well. Nobody knows what’s going on but I don’t doubt a “company board demands more profit” situation
You mean the guy who spun this all up as a Non-Profit company, then spun up an LLC for that Non-Profit to manage, then made deals with Microsoft?
Somehow his long term actions tell me, like most rich twatwaffles, you can’t actually trust what he is saying.
When the board that he answers to says he hasn’t been consistently candid, you can bet your sweet ass any soundbites you as a regular schlub have read are “not consistently candid” and you’re hearing what he wants you to hear.
But you do you on believing these chucklefucks when their actions speak loudly to the contrary.
“Not consistently candid” means lying his arse off to the point of endangering the continued existence of the organisation.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Sam Altman has been fired as CEO of OpenAI, the company announced on Friday.
Chief technology officer Mira Murati will be the interim CEO, effective immediately.
When contacted by The Verge, OpenAI’s communications department declined to comment beyond the blog post.
This is an extremely sudden turn of events as Altman has largely been the face of OpenAI, which arguably kickstarted the current AI arms race with last year’s hugely popular ChatGPT.
Altman is a co-founder of OpenAI and initially served as a co-chair of the company alongside Elon Musk.
Musk left in 2018 to avoid a conflict of interest with Tesla — he has since founded his own AI company, xAI.

This post is unnerving
How so?
The bot is using AI and arguably the technology of OpenAI to report on the news that a human has lost their job but has no context on what it is reporting.
Yeah, I see your point. Not sure I can do anything about it, but yeah. It’s kind of like an almost unnoticeable line in the sand has been crossed.
Thank you for taking the time to explain what you meant, I wouldn’t have noticed it otherwise.
