November 17-21, 2023: In a tumultuous 5 days he’s fired and then reinstated as the CEO of OpenAI.
Those in the know say that tensions existed between Altman who favored pushing AI development more aggressively (Mars) and the OpenAI board who wanted to move more cautiously (Saturn).
In its announcement of Altman’s firing, OpenAI claimed that Altman had been insufficiently ‘candid’ with the board and that he had hindered (square aspect) the board’s ability to carry out its responsibilities.
On Friday evening (November 17), Altman posted on X that he ‘loved working with such talented people’ at OpenAI and that he ‘will have more to say about what’s next later.’ Adding: ‘if I start going off, the openai board should go after me for the full value of my shares.’
