Sam Altman and members of the OpenAI are reportedly in negotiations of the return of Altman, after Microsoft hires him for an advanced AI team. First off, OpenAI ousted its co-founder and CEO, Sam Altman, out of nowhere... just days ago. He was followed by key OpenAI staff, and then Microsoft hired Altman to run a new advanced AI research division of the company... after that, 700+ of the 800 employees wrote to the OpenAI board demanding if Altman wasn't reinstated, they'd all leave to Microsoft with Altman. And now... now the OpenAI board is reportedly talking to Altman about his return as a director on a transitional board of OpenAI. However, Altman's adventures at Microsoft aren't finalized just yet, according to Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella, who probably didn't sleep much of the weekend.
