Turmoil at OpenAI: after firing Sam Altman, what’s next for the home of ChatGPT?

By Chinua Achebe On Nov 18, 2023

This is how OpenAI fired its CEO, Sam Altman.

Former OpenAI president and chair Greg Brockman’s post on X tells his version of the events that pushed Sam Altman out of OpenAI (Altman reshared the post, and put up a message that today “has been sorta like reading your own eulogy while you’re still alive”).

According to Brockman, OpenAI Chief Scientist and board member Ilya Sutskever texted Altman on Thursday night asking to talk at noon on Friday (November 17th). At noon, on a Google Meet call with Sutskever, as well as non-employee board members Adam D’Angelo, Tasha McCauley, and Helen Toner, “Ilya told Sam he was being fired and that the news was going out very soon.”

Within minutes, Sutskever invited Brockman to a Google Meet call where he was informed of his removal from the board “…and that Sam had been fired. Around the same time, OpenAI published a blog post.”
