CNBC's Deirdre Bosa reports on the detailed backstory behind an executive shakeup at OpenAI.

Great video, The first $100, 000 invested was amazing. But when you hit $300, 000 it’s like smashing the glass ceiling! I cried.

The culture at OpenAI sounds worse than has been revealed thus far. Some real game of thrones stuff going on there lol

So far we’ve seen:
(1) Anthropic founded from people who left OpenAI so they could work on AI safety
(2) the board trying to fire Sam due to lack of safety focus
(3) Jan leaving and his safety team dissolved because of lack of priority for safety

It doesn’t take a genius to realize that Sam is leading the company full steam ahead in the name of 💰, and only 💰

culture of toxicity yet 90% of employees had his back?

I glad to have an adviser who is excellent in what he's doing , you changed my entire life and I will continue to preach and song your praises on your behalf for the whole world to hear you saved me from huge financial debt with just a small investment, thank you Bruce Murdock

She doesn’t sound like a bitter lunatic at all.

[VinegarMoneyGrows]

Looks like false accusation. Hope Sam learned the lesson.

Other than this woman, who was clearly not technically qualified to make any decisions, there were people on the board like Ilya Sutskever who were deeply involved in every step of building GPT. So it is inconceivable that he did not know about the launch. So clearly her story doesn’t hold any water.

Helen toner is nothing to open ai it's past now chatgpt is no 1

[mikibaer]

its not sammy first time dealing with board he knows lol

[accumulator]

The board sounds like a bunch of cry babies …

[slytherben]

The board sat in an ivory tower, no relationship with employees, no understanding of the work environment. The employees LOVE Sam and love their work environment. The employees have been difficult to poach. The board was incompetent and now, well... we have a new board.

Helen Tone deaf doesn't know what she is talking about. I apologize to Chat GPT for my crassness. It is inappropriate to speak of someone of that stature but it carries the weight of what I see here. If you have disputes like this, you deal with it privately and not in a public manner. Otherwise it is tone deaf. I can't wait for meme stocks to actually try to get people on the boards of some of these meme companies. That is where we really get to see what goes on. Either way, it was a greedy board that wanted control over something that shouldn't be in the hands of such a small amount of people. If they were truly ethical, they wouldn't actually try to undermine the democratic process. AI in the current hands is only going to steal the dat of the talented unconnected individuals and make those wealthy look good. They won't steal Scarlett Johanson's voice. They will steal that starving artist's voice who they can predict and copy before her breakout role happens and build a giant distantly connected wall in the world. She is toxic and all about product launch and not about serving humanity and AI which is and should be the goal and objectives. When there is non-specific hearsay, it is always political and it reminds me of the facebook's moments when others have tried to seize power from it and it magically didn't happen. I wish her the best. She definitely didn't respond with using ChatGPT, I will tell you that right now.

It looks like she is lying because she got fired from OpenAI lol
