Microsoft hires former OpenAI CEO Sam Altman
Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella was key in OpenAI talks.
Hasnain says:
What a crazy turn of events. Especially the new letter signed by 500/700 of the OpenAI folks demanding the board resign - which was ironically also signed by the board member who orchestrated this whole mess up in the first place.
“Brockman has also revealed that the new team at Microsoft will include some key OpenAI talent. Jakub Pachocki, director of research at OpenAI, will join an unnamed leadership position in Microsoft’s advanced AI research team. OpenAI research scientist Szymon Sidor and head of preparedness Aleksander Madry are also joining Microsoft in leadership positions, according to Brockman. OpenAI employees are also posting “OpenAI is nothing without its people” to X in a sign of more resignations to come.”
