This is the best summary I could come up with:
Sam Altman has been fired as CEO of OpenAI, the company announced on Friday.
Chief technology officer Mira Murati will be the interim CEO, effective immediately.
When contacted by The Verge, OpenAI’s communications department declined to comment beyond the blog post.
This is an extremely sudden turn of events as Altman has largely been the face of OpenAI, which arguably kickstarted the current AI arms race with last year’s hugely popular ChatGPT.
Altman is a co-founder of OpenAI and initially served as a co-chair of the company alongside Elon Musk.
Musk left in 2018 to avoid a conflict of interest with Tesla — he has since founded his own AI company, xAI.
