This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
Can we stop posting about OpenAI's internal dramas? You're welcome to post about their new models or research. But the business drama is not something I want to see in technology.
If there was some moderation in here it might help. Reports appear to get no attention.
taking into account this was posted by a moderator's bot, they are obviously ignored.
Right? Why is this news?
So what was the deal with him supposedly being part of the coup to kick Altman out and at the same time one of the signatories on the letter to the board demanding to get Altman back? That was confusing.
Short version: yes, Sutskever was a part of the coup to kick Altman and Brockman out. What happened next was Brockman's wife pleaded to him, then he changed his tune afterwards.
Is openAI actually open source, or (dare I say), free?
Lol no, not at all. They started with that promise but now keep most of their good models closed source and behind a paywall. They also fail to disclose how they made them in the research.
More nonaense to keep the OpenAI.in the news. AI Hype train must be slowing down.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
While Sutskever remains in company systems like Slack, and his presence is discernible through his drawings and paintings used as decor, his present and future at OpenAI has yet to be addressed officially by leadership, another person said.
A smiling photo posted to X last Friday of Sutskever with co-founder and president Greg Brockman, who was the first to quit in solidarity with Altman, was a "clear signal that they all want to get back to work," the person said.
Another sign is that Sutskever has hired his own lawyer in Alex Weingarten of Willkie Farr & Gallagher, who chairs its litigation practice, as BI previously reported.
Another person familiar described Sutskever in simple terms as someone who "thinks of himself as an AI god" and who became frustrated at "being pushed out of decisions" regarding ChatGPT-5 and plans to scale the product and company.
While Altman in a statement after his return to the company said he has "no ill will toward Ilya" and wanted to "continue our working relationship," he admitted to The Verge to being "hurt and angry."
Likewise, some of OpenAI's engineers who are loyal to Altman and Brockman may also find it difficult to work with Sutskever because of his role in the ouster, a former employee said.
The original article contains 858 words, the summary contains 213 words. Saved 75%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
Yup... Time to add another Openai name in my block lists... 😊
