2,221 wordsWhat's going on everybody we have about T minus 24 hours until we find out if Sam Alman is returning back to open AI as his you know CEO position this has been the weekend firing and hiring session on display for the whole world to see I hope you guys enjoyed this soap opera grab your popcorn kids cuz we're going to get right into [Music] it all right so I'm going to make this video quick and kind of just go over some
Of the updates for you guys this last uh you know 12 hours is all right so um former open AI C CEO Sam ultman returns to headquarters for talks following his abrupt elster so let's just see Sam ultman has recently been osted as CEO of open AI arrived as a guest Sunday at the headquarters of the company he founded yes he arrived as a guest I'll show you that in a second Alman posted a photo of himself on X formly Twitter
Wearing an open AI visitor badge uh writing first and last time I ever wear one of these so let's go to his Twitter right here you can see that picture right here on full display him wearing the guest number four open AI badge and over here it says first and last time I ever wear one of these so he's definitely not going to be visiting again too much in anytime soon unless he become comes back as the CEO so let's just
Continue Jason Quan opening eyes Chief strategy officer also posted a video uh photo of Sam uh Sam alman's appearance at the open AI HQ followed news that the companies uh investors AKA Microsoft were pushing to reinstate him as CEO one day after he was oued by the board according to people familiar with the matter over the past 24 hours A large group of opening eyes employees including Executives and also have expressed support for Alman on social media by sharing Hearts yes
In a response on one of his posts uh Microsoft squ Capital Tire Global and Venture uh and Venture firm Thrive Capital are part of the effort to reinstate Alman or have have been in discussions with him sources familiar told CNBC so you know all these big firms basically and investors are trying to get him back or ready to invest in him if he starts another AI company and as for the hearts you can see here Sam Alman I love the open
AI team so much because so many people were resigning or saying they would resign if they Alman doesn't get reinstate within 24 hours here's mea Madi who also commented at heart and she was you know at least supposed to be the interm CEO as well as we have of course Greg Brookman commenting a heart for Sams as well as commenting a heart for Mira so kind of interesting stuff here from what we're kind of seeing or hearing the Talk of the
Town is basically that Ilia and Sam had more of the falling out it was mainly more them um not being aligned and you know the potential theory is that they open AI discovered either like AGI or something sort of close to it they had this major breakthrough and I covered that in last videos but uh you know I can even throw a clip in here right now of Sam mman mentioning what this breakthrough was or not what it was but when
It actually happened and this was just a few uh weeks ago before he actually got oued like four times now in the history of open eye the the most recent time was just in the last couple of weeks I've gotten to be in the room um when we sort of like push push the front the sort of the veil of ignorance back and the frontier of Discovery forward and getting to do that is like the professional honor all right so open
AI negotiations to reinstate Alman snag over board role open AI leaders want to REM uh want board removed but directors resisting board given 5:00 pm deadline to give into alman's demands efforts by a group of open AI Executives and investors to reinstate Sam Alman to his role as chief executive officer reached an impass over the makeup and role of the board according to people familiar with the negotiations resolutions could come quickly though talks are fluid and ongoing Alman who was fired
Friday is open to returning but wants to see governance changes including the removal of existing board members said the people who asked not to be identified because the negotiations were private he's also seeking a statement uh absolving him of wrongdoing they said after facing intense outrage over the elster the board initially agreed to principal in principal to step down but have so far refused to officially do so the directors have been vetting candidates for new directors and key leaders within open
Aai are pushing for the board to resign and bring back Alman but one of the people said the uh one of the people said the list in uh includes interim CE o mea morat Chief strategy Officer Jason Quan and Chief Operating Officer Brad l cap the person said the capital the campaign to reinstate Alman got underway soon after firing the fing his firing Friday when the board members led by openai Chief science Ilia suser dismissed ultman um and stripped him of
His director role saying he was not consistently candidate in his Communications with the board hours later president Brockman um Greg Brockman who had also been kicked off the board resigned in protest of the day's development one long-standing issue that has divided the company was alman's drive to turn open AI which began as a nonprofit organization into a successful business and how quickly he wanted the company to crank out products and sign up customers that H ran headlong into board members concern
Turns over the safety of artificial intelligent tools capable of generating text images and even computer code with minimal prompting until Friday the company's board and consisted of you know it's covering that we uh at midday Sunday as at midday Sunday hints began emerging that a resolution in two negotiations may be nearing Alman and Brockman showed up at open AI San franisco headquarters a person with knowledge of the matter uh said on the site X hman later posted an image of himself
At the offices wearing a guest badge with a caption that read first and last time I Weare one of these a deadline has been set for 5:00 p.m. San Francisco time for the board to acceed to the demands of Alman and his supporters in order to bring back bring him back as CEO the board may have to issue a statement absolving him of wrongdoing according to a person close to the negotiations however giving in could lead leave uh board members vulnerable
From a legal perspective this person added adding to alman's Leverage is that he has loyalty of several employees people close to him and the company have said Chief among uh Chief among them are top research scientists seen in the main stay of open AI intellectual property and contributors to the large language models at the heart of its groundbreaking CH gbt bot okay so it's talking about Microsoft okay so Brett Taylor the former co-ceo of Salesforce Inc will be on the new
Board several people said another possible addition is the n executive from uh Redmond washington-based Microsoft but it's unclear whether the software giant can or will take a seat uh a board seat due to its regulatory concerns whether he is able to return to open AI Alman has been at work on other businesses including raising funds for uh chipm startup and an AI focused Hardware device in a memo to staff Saturday l cap said the decision to fire CEO was not made
In response to malfant or the company's Financial or safety practices alman's outting look at look us all by surprise uh took us all by surprise like cap wrote adding that we have had multiple conversations with the board to try to better understand the reason and process behind the decision all right so yeah they really haven't said anything regarding why they actually made the decision so um other than that though lastly I'm just going to cover um over here we have Jimmy
Apples once again if you don't know who he is I mentioned him in my last video but he's this uh Twitter account that has made many many predictions and they've actually all turned out to be um right you know as you can see here October 2th there has been a Vibe change at open Ai and we're risking we risk losing some key ride or die open AI employees and then November 17th The Vibes are off LOL um the only thing that
Matters is Agi and Asi Nothing Else Matters two opposites um and when you forget who holds the leash we have uh satian nadela there and Sam Alman so yeah Microsoft has been taking a huge hit so he's actually kind of leading the negotiations and then Jimmy apples here tweeted out 19 hours ago it is done so I don't know if that means they've come to a conclusion with the negotiations usually with software and whatnot and business you know it it's the
Weekend so it has literally been the weekend firing he got fired on Friday um right now it's Sunday by tomorrow we will probably kind of get some big news figure out what's going on he could by Tomorrow Sam Alman could be back to CEO of open AI we'll have to see let me know what your thoughts are in the comments down below let me know if you've been enjoying this uh soap oper or doesn't make you lose confidence in open AI
