Shakeup is probably an understatement. Earthquake is probably an understatement.
A large portion of the team, including the CEO and Chairman of the Board, have departed OpenAI.
What does this mean for AI/AGI/ASI?
We don’t know.
Speculation is rampant, from the notion OpenAI has achieved AGI to Altman was more aggressive commercially than the board was comfortable with. Personally, I lean toward the former. The board had to know how this would look to the world and it put an $86B investment at risk.
Why? What could be that big?
AGI.
