Over 500 OpenAI employees threaten to quit unless board resigns

Wired · 1y

Over 500 employees of OpenAI have signed an open letter threatening to resign unless the board reinstates former CEO Sam Altman. The letter accuses the board of jeopardizing the company's mission and undermining its work through the termination of Altman and another board member. OpenAI's board had previously removed Altman, citing communication issues and hindering their responsibilities. The signees, including the company's chief scientist Ilya Sutskever, express their intention to join Altman at Microsoft, which has assured positions for the OpenAI employees.
