Talks over reinstating co-founder and former CEO Sam Altman at OpenAI have apparently broken down. According to The Information and Bloomberg, the board has now hired Altman’s fellow Twitch co-founder Emmett Shear as OpenAI’s new interim CEO. This appointment was apparently announced internally by co-founder and board director Ilya Sutskever.
Altman was originally fired from OpenAI over “a breakdown in communication between Sam and the board,” according to an oddly blunt internal staff memo on the day of the announcement. The news was subsequently followed by resignations from several key members, including co-founder Greg Brockman (who was ousted as the chairman of the board), along with a few senior researchers.
