The announcement also noted that another co-founder and key executive, Greg Brockman, who serves as chairman of the board, would step down from that role but would remain as president of the company. However, in a post on X (formerly Twitter), Brockman said, “Based on today’s news, I quit.”
However, OpenAI avoided providing details about the nature of Altman’s alleged lack of candor, saying only that his behavior was hindering the board’s ability to fulfill its responsibilities.
Altman posted on Loved working with people. There would be more to say.” What happens next will be discussed later.”
In the next post on X, Altman described his “weird experience” of being fired from OpenAI.
“I love you all. Today was a strange experience in many ways. But an unexpected experience is that it is as if you are reading your own eulogy while you are still alive. The outpouring of love is wonderful. A solution :Go tell me guys how great you think he is,” Altman said in his post.
According to a Wall Street Journal report, Altman expressed surprise and anger at his removal and attributed the board’s decision to a power struggle. He specifically pointed to conflicts with board members, including OpenAI’s chief scientist and fellow co-founder, Ilya Sutskever. The WSJ reports that the disagreements revolve around a variety of issues, such as finding the right balance between speed and security, according to individuals familiar with the negotiations.
Altman’s sudden removal sent shockwaves through the tech industry. The development followed a week during which Altman made several public appearances to discuss the company. This represents a remarkable turnaround for the man who had become the leading face of generator AI.
