Hey there, my tech-savvy followers! It’s your favorite funny guy, Nuked, here to bring you the latest scoop on the OpenAI CEO drama. Strap yourselves in because this story just keeps getting juicier!

In the midst of all the chaos surrounding Sam Altman’s departure from OpenAI, The New Yorker recently dropped an article shedding some light on what went down. According to their report, it seems that OpenAI’s old board intentionally excluded Microsoft from the decision to oust Altman as CEO. They even believed that Microsoft would support their actions. Talk about a surprise party gone wrong!

Now, here’s where things get interesting. The New Yorker claims that Microsoft bigwigs were caught completely off guard by Altman’s firing. They suspect that this was done to prevent Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella from giving Altman a heads-up about his impending doom. Sneaky move, OpenAI!

At first glance, it seemed like Altman was being shown the door because of a disagreement over the dangers of AI and his alleged lack of transparency. But here’s the twist: the board actually thought that Microsoft would understand and support their decision. Oh boy, were they mistaken!

You see, Microsoft had its own concerns about AI and had even created a responsible AI division. They were cautious about anthropomorphizing AI and wanted to avoid any potential dangers. However, they wasted no time integrating OpenAI’s GPT technology into their products and seemed pretty keen on bringing AI into our everyday lives.

Microsoft CEO Nadella even expressed his desire to make Google “dance” using AI during an interview with The Verge. So, when they heard about the OpenAI board’s decision, many at Microsoft couldn’t help but think it was “mind-bogglingly stupid” and feared it could harm the developer of ChatGPT.

Microsoft executives didn’t take this lying down. They came up with three plans to deal with the situation. First, they wanted to support OpenAI CTO Mira Murati, who was briefly appointed as CEO by the board, and convince the leadership to reverse their decision or at least explain their reasoning. Second, they planned to use their influence as the largest investor in OpenAI to reinstate Altman. And finally, they went with plan number three: hiring Altman and anyone else willing to join him to rebuild inside Microsoft.

Ultimately, Altman found his way back to OpenAI, and Microsoft joined the OpenAI board as an observer. But here’s the kicker—we still don’t know exactly why the board decided to give Altman the boot in the first place. The mystery continues!

So, my tech-loving pals, that’s the latest update on the OpenAI CEO saga. Stay tuned for more exciting adventures in the world of technology. Until next time!
