Sam Altman, the former CEO of OpenAI, is reportedly in negotiations with Microsoft to run a new artificial intelligence laboratory. However, he and former president Greg Brockman are still keen on returning to OpenAI. According to sources, there is a threat of 500 company workers resigning if the company’s board doesn’t resign and the fired executives aren’t reinstated.
Ilya Sutskever, co-founder of OpenAI and company executive, who was allegedly one of the main reasons behind Altman’s dismissal, supports their desire for reinstatement. Microsoft also supports their return to the company. Satya Nadella, CEO of Microsoft, has stated that changes need to happen around the governance of OpenAI.
In other news, niche newsletters are gaining attention in various forums. Topics such as their relevance, how they can help with professional growth, and their potential to keep one updated in a specific area of interest are being discussed in different platforms. Both Sam Altman’s situation and niche newsletters are hot topics in forums and clubs.
