This chapter discusses the corporate considerations of diversity in model selection and changes in leadership at OpenAI, including the return of Sam Altman as CEO and the appointment of a new board chaired by Brett Taylor. It also raises questions about the original vision of OpenAI and the employees' role in shaping the organization's direction, along with speculation and memes about the potential threat of the QStar model.
Daniel & Chris conduct a retrospective analysis of the recent OpenAI debacle in which CEO Sam Altman was sacked by the OpenAI board, only to return days later with a new supportive board. The events and people involved are discussed from start to finish along with the potential impact of these events on the AI industry.
