wasn't Ilya the one who gave Altman the news he was fired? I read it as he was siding with the board at first.

Edit:

Ilya posted this on Twitter:

"I deeply regret my participation in the board's actions. I never intended to harm OpenAI. I love everything we've built together and I will do everything I can to reunite the company."

All reports were that he was leading the charge, in fact.

I'm honestly not up-to-date with the news on this fiasco. Can someone help reconcile the news about employees saying Altman deprioritized safety for speed and profit and this one where employees actually want him back? Are these different groups?

Things are somewhat fresh and still extremely confusing. Altman was fired last friday in a "surprise coup". One of the guys, Ilya Sutskever, had a hand in that. In a very weird twist, he's also on the list of people asking to bring Sam Altman back.

Wait, isn't #12, Ilya Sutskeker, one of the board members responsible?

This would be really sad mostly in terms of the fact that Microsoft running anything will immediately wreck it and make it wane into obsolescence. In my opinion this would be a tremendous loss in this case.

Wow this is the biggest show of dick ridership I have probably ever seen. Why do they want this CEO to be at the helm so badly?

[-] Aatube@kbin.social 17 points 1 year ago

…it’s not just about Altman. They fired him without proof and then fired the interim CEO, along with the reasons in the document

What's your source that he is a felon? Can't find anything about that at all.

[-] V0lD@lemmy.world 30 points 1 year ago

Did he edit his comment? The current version doesn't accuse Altman of any felony

What do you expect, it was written by AI.

Haven’t you all used Microsoft’s version of ChapGPT that is heavily modified and produces subpar results? And you are all thrilled all the staff are moving there? Yeah, OK. I think this is all $hitty.

I just did a micro-protest and canceled my $20 CGPT4 from renewing in Dec until I see what happens in this whole kerfuffle.

505 employees will put money over ethics.

Microsoft will embrace (extend and then extinguish) them all with OpenArms.
