Sam Altman was rehired as OpenAI’s CEO. Here’s what it all really meant.

Slate  

Folks, if you predicted on Friday that the closely watched OpenAI power struggle would end in the most pointless-seeming way possible … well, just look. Weirdly enough, Quora CEO Adam D’Angelo is the only pre-Friday board member who’ll remain on what OpenAI characterized as its “initial board” going forward, despite the employee letter insisting that that entire board step down. There, he’ll be joined by Google/Salesforce/Twitter alum Bret Taylor and by … Larry Summers, the august and/or chronically incorrect Harvard economist who predicted to Bloomberg last year that OpenAI’s ChatGPT bot “could be the most important general-purpose technology since the wheel or fire.” In addition, Altman will voluntarily subject himself to an internal investigation over the reasons last week’s board members chose to boot him in the first place. The New York Times reported Tuesday 1) that Sutskever “thought Mr. Altman was not always being honest when talking with the board”; 2) that OpenAI execs had been locked in a stalemate with board members over who should replace the directors who’d departed earlier this year, including Reid Hoffman, who was both an OpenAI founding member and a Microsoft board member; and 3) that Altman had been embroiled in conflict with board member Helen Toner in particular. It’s all just more confirmation, perhaps, of Ellen Huet’s description of the CEO in a recent Bloomberg profile: having “a reputation as ambitious, cunning, even Machiavellian.” No wonder, then, that so many OpenAI leaders and workers have stayed by his side since Friday, and that so few others in his orbit ever attempted to follow the path of Musk, the Anthropic founders, and Toner—betting against Altman’s position, and betting that they can take his place.
