It’s not dark yet, but it’s getting there I wasn’t expecting to create another post so soon after Friday’s fun and games, but here we are. The OpenAI implosion continued during and after the weekend. For a while it looked like Sam Altman and Greg Brockford might be coming back, with staff and investors unhappy at what had gone down. The staff threatened to resign en-masse, and set a deadline of 5pm on November 19th for the board to resign instead. This was agreed in principle but then stalled based on the makeup of the new board. Bret Taylor, former Co-CEO of Salesforce was one name both sides agreed on. Given that Bret was chairman of Twitter when Elon (eventually) bought it, he’d have to love drama to be up for this gig.
