More than 500 out of 700 OpenAI employees gave this threat
San Francisco: After Microsoft appointed former OpenAI CEO Sam Altman to run its advanced AI research vertical called ‘SAM’, over 500 employees of ChatGPT Development on Monday reportedly resigned and joined Microsoft. Threatened.
OpenAI has approximately 770 employees.
In a letter to OpenAI’s board, which was accessed by ‘Wired’, more than 500 current OpenAI employees say that “Microsoft has assured us that there are positions for all OpenAI employees in this new subsidiary, if We choose to be involved”.
OpenAI chief scientist Ilya Sutskever, who reportedly led efforts to remove Altman, said on X that he deeply regretted his involvement in the board’s actions.
“I never intended to harm OpenAI. “I love what we have built together and I will do everything I can to bring the company back together,” he said.
The process through which the board fired Sam Altman and removed Greg Brockman from the board “undermined our mission and the company,” the letter reads.
“Your conduct has made it clear that you do not have the capacity to oversee OpenAl. “When we all unexpectedly learned of your decision, OpenAl’s leadership team acted quickly to stabilize the company,” the letter said.
“Your actions have made it clear that you are incapable of overseeing OpenAl. We are unable to work for or with people who lack the competence, discretion and care for our mission and employees. The disgruntled employees said, We, the signers below, may choose to resign from OpenAL and join the newly announced Microsoft subsidiary run by Sam Altman and Greg Brockman.
Microsoft has assured them that the new subsidiary has positions for all OpenGL employees “should we choose to join.”
“We will take this action immediately unless all current Board members resign and the Board appoints two new lead independent directors, Brett Taylor and Will Hurd, and Sam Altman and Greg Brockman,” the letter said. Doesn’t restore it.”
Earlier on Monday, Microsoft Chairman and CEO Satya Nadella brought in Altman and OpenAI co-founder Brockman to help the company pursue its advanced AI dreams with a new vertical, also known as ‘SAM’. Announced the appointment of.
