On Monday, OpenAI publicly revolted, with 490 employees threatening to leave the company unless the board resigns and Sam Altman and Greg Brockman are returned to their posts. Altman was fired by the board of directors last Friday, sparking controversy.
The letter reads: “Your (board’s) process of firing Sam Altman and removing Greg Brockman from the board has jeopardized all of these jobs and undermined our mission and our company. These actions have clearly demonstrated your inability to oversee OpenAI. "
Notably, the letter's signatories include the company's chief scientist and board member Ilya Sutskever, who has been accused of coordinating the board "coup" against Altman in the first place. (WIRED)
