In a surprising twist, Sam Altman, the prominent face of OpenAI was ousted, who played a key role in OpenAI's impactful contributions to the AI landscape. Who just recently led the OpenAI DevDay on November 6, 2023, has been let go from his position as CEO as company announced in their website last November 17, 2023, due to alleged dishonesty with the board the reason why he was fired.

The board, citing a lack of confidence in Altman's leadership, deems new leadership "necessary." This sudden development follows a thorough review by the board, revealing inconsistencies in Altman's communications, hindering the board's ability to fulfill its responsibilities.

Sam Altman posted on Twitter:

“I loved my time at openai. it was transformative for me personally, and hopefully the world a little bit. most of all i loved working with such talented people. will have more to say about what’s next later,”

Speculation surrounds the nature of his departure, with rumors suggesting a potential hostile takeover. Additionally, old tweets from Altman's sister resurfaced, making wild claims about abuse. Photo credits to @armyofyouth

People are wondering, could these be related to the recent decision of the company in firing Sam Altman. The company also announced that co-founder Greg Brockman will step down as chairman of the board but will be remaining with the company.
