    It’s still developing… But here’s the gist.

    - Sam got fired and Greg got demoted by the board

    - Greg quit

    - Mira the CTO named by the board as the interim CEO

    - Public outrage

    - Everyone assumed it was Ilya behind this, being a board member (and cofounder) himself and in the camp of precaution > commercialisation

    - A bunch of heart emoji tweets from OpenAI employees to show support for Sam and Greg, including Mira

    - It was reported Satya from Microsoft was pissed too, and is mediating the return of Sam

    - Sam was invited back to the OpenAI office to “negotiate”

    - The negotiation didn’t go well, the board appointed Emmett Shear, ex-Twitch cofounder and CEO, as the new interim CEO (replacing Mira)

    - Satya announces Sam, Greg and some OpenAI employees joining Microsoft

    - Ilya tweets an apology, the wording suggests he was only a participant, not the orchestrator of this shitshow, Sam tweets heart emojis back

    - Everyone now speculates it wasn’t Ilya who started the coup, but perhaps Adam, the board member, and CEO of Quora who has a conflict of interest (he’s building Poe, a competitor to ChatGPT)

    - 550 out of 700 OpenAI employees signed a letter demanding the resignation of the OpenAI board, notably Ilya also signed the letter (so he’s demanding his own resignation)

    I’m sure in a few hours/days there will be more drama/updates.
