    Okay so you fired someone, then decided later to bring them back. This means whatever guideline you use to fire people is floppy or petulant, you caved to public backlash, or the firing guidelines are clear but the information you took grave actions upon was bad (was unreliable and/or unverified).

    Anyway, none of those things are good markers of leadership.

    Edit: Forgot another reason for recanting a firing: your boss told you that you don’t have the authority. Nothing takes away your leadership teeth like that…

      How is it that all these comments miss the fact that there are zero leaks from the board (even anonymously) that this is the case? This is so clearly a move by Altman and his supporters to chum the waters and make the board look incompetent (when there is no evidence to corroborate it). “People in the know” is what you say when you can’t be more specific and could literally be any from my Altman himself to disgruntled employees. You can bet your bottom dollar if they had a real line into the board you’d give something much less wishy-washy.

      Stop reading headlines as facts people.

    We need Armando Ianucci (The Thick of it, In the Loop, The Death of Stalin) to get the film rights to this when the dust settles. Holy shit what an opportunity to skewer high tech idiots and business idiocy in general.

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    The OpenAI board is in discussions with Sam Altman to return to CEO, according to multiple people familiar with the matter.

    One of them said Altman, who was suddenly fired by the board on Friday, is “ambivalent” about coming back and would want significant governance changes.
