Sam Altman fired from OpenAI

In a surprising announcement, Sam Altman has been fired as the CEO of OpenAI. The board of directors of OpenAI concluded that Altman's lack of consistent candor with the board hindered its ability to fulfill its responsibilities and that they no longer had confidence in his leadership. Greg Brockman, the chairman of the board, is also stepping down and will remain with the company in a different capacity. The suddenness and aggressive language of the announcement suggest a major internal issue or event.
