Sam Altman, former CEO of OpenAI, was reportedly raising money for various endeavors, including a new AI chip startup to compete with Nvidia and a partnership with former Apple designer Johnny I've. There is speculation about whether Altman and Greg Brockman, another former executive, will pursue these projects or decide to compete with OpenAI. Rumors about the former CTO and current CEO of OpenAI, Mira Marotti, not being a Dartmouth engineer have been debunked. The situation is seen as a battle between AI safety and commercialization, but some suggest it could be about power struggles within the company. Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella was blindsided and furious about the news. The story may unfold through a legal process. Altman jokingly mentioned that the board should sue him for his non-existent shares in OpenAI.
Backstabbing. Ambition. Betrayal. After Sam Altman was fired and Greg Brockman quit, NLW digs in to what we've learned so far.
