https://www.theverge.com/2023/11/18/23967199/breaking-openai... > Update, 5:35PM PT: A source close to Altman says the board had agreed in principle to resign and to allow Altman and Brockman to return, but has since waffled — missing a key 5PM PT deadline by which many OpenAI staffers were set to resign. If Altman decides to leave and start a new company, those staffers would assuredly go with him. > Altman holding…

> Altman holding talks with the company just a day after he was ousted indicates that OpenAI is in a state of free-fall without him.

It’s over. He’s back.

Several low profile OAI employees retweeted with ♥ (same as gdb) indicating the returning is done and through from my interpretation.

I don't see how that clearly indicates that.

It works just as well as a public expression of support if conflict hasn't been resolved,

This strikes me as narcissistic. Maybe the board wasn't wrong.

Why do you think appreciating the people who have worked with you for years (and currently are supporting you) is narcissistic?

Maybe, when posted at this time, it might be?

I mean, this is getting ridiculous now. Really, sort yourselves out. This veiled tweet stuff is just drama queens being dramatic for the sake of it at this point. I care what happens to openAI … but at this point I give literally zero fucks what people are tweeting and what it may / may not / according some insider / outsider / person close to it who renames nameless might mean or not mean. Sam tweeting “I <3 openAI”…

I’m with you. This is starting to feel like that “Friendship ended with Mudasir” meme.

These are the people leading the AI revolution? The thing that could potentially upend our entire civilization? A bunch of ninnying brats kicking each other out of a club? Oy vey. We’re fucked.

There is this strange online phenomenon where people seek out content they dont like and then get bothered that it exists instead of just not paying attention.

It sounds more like FUD being spread by Sam camp. I just don’t see a reason as to why the board would resign. But, what do I, or anyone except the people involved, know. OTOH, the tweet sounds/read weird. Is he trying to recruit folks for his next venture.

Agreed. The board resigning after all this would seem pointless if not completely bewildering. Why would they do that after removing him? The board has no financial interest in the company, so what power does Altman have? Also, I see this Tweet by Altman: > if i start going off, the openai board should go after me for the full value of my shares What does that mean?

Greg Brockman and Brad Lightcap (current COO) both immediately retweeted it with just a heart. https://twitter.com/gdb/status/1726100488947679304 https://twitter.com/bradlightcap

Is not Lightcap retweeting the bigger deal as Greg already quit? It shows some serious level of support internally.

This is how the Livejournal generation communicates. We don't have press releases or proper sit down board meetings. To communicate about a job loss or job gain we must have feelings and whatever music we are listening to right now.
