Sam and I are shocked and saddened by what the board did today.
Let us first say thank you to all the incredible people who we have worked with at OpenAI, our customers, our investors, and all of those who have been reaching out.
We too are still trying to figure out exactly what happened. Here is what we know:
- Last night, Sam got a text from Ilya asking to talk at noon Friday. Sam joined a Google Meet and the whole board, except Greg, was there. Ilya told Sam he was being fired and that the news was going out very soon.
- At 12:19pm, Greg got a text from Ilya asking for a quick call. At 12:23pm, Ilya sent a Google Meet link. Greg was told that he was being removed from the board (but was vital to the company and would retain his role) and that Sam had been fired. Around the same time, OpenAI published a blog post.
- As far as we know, the management team was made aware of this shortly after, other than Mira who found out the night prior.
The outpouring of support has been really nice; thank you, but please don’t spend any time being concerned. We will be fine. Greater things coming soon.
Friendly reminder! Be mindful that not everyone has the same financial or family circumstances as everyone else.
It could be especially tough for some during the holiday season.
I encourage you to send loved ones a message that you are thinking of them!❤️
THE ONLY WEB3 JOB THREAD YOU NEED TO CONVERT YOURSELF AS FULLTIME WEB3 DEV IN 2023.
I have been reached out by multiple projects, and startups in last 3 months, and I feel pretty competent to give some insights on how to get a web3 fulltime or freelance job.
@VarunMayya It could be like a teaching assistant maybe for diffrent subjects or for every. And just pay for it monthly like you will pay to your tutor for hourly basis and but you will use ChatGPT all the time.
@VarunMayya Maybe just replace the Edtech sector because tomorrow I was having trouble in Maths specially in Matrices and it solved the exact question with step by step guidance and when I got trouble in any step it explained that step in detail.
