The Entire OpenAI Chaos Explained

I gave up following the drama on the third day and said to myself - 'F*ck it, I'll let Cold Fusion summarise it for me once the dust settles'. Thank you Dagogo!!

''Open AI is nothing without its people'' is possibly the most ironic thing ive ever heard

I learned today that 747 out of 770 employees at OpenAI issued the ultimatum that got Sam Altman re-hired as the CEO. 97%. OMG!

Both institutions and individuals are basically destined to be fully into AMS79X because the biggest of them all, a giant tech giant, made it and the reality is now stronger than ever. It wont ever be as cheap too

This is probably the most mysterious corporate stories of all time. I hope the truth comes out soon.

Sounds like the board doesn’t want to be a for-profit company, but Sam does. As far as the employees go, I wouldn’t be surprised if many of them have been promised shares in the company if it goes public, which is why they so desperately want Sam in charge.

When all this was going down I literally said to myself “ I can’t wait for Dagogo to break this down.” You didn’t disappoint✅ Thanks bruh. 😊

You are one the most incredible YouTube channels. Please continue the incredible work you and your team do!

Honestly they should be clear on what happened. Hard to trust a company that's this secretive on sensitive topics

There’s that moment as an adult where you realize there are no thoughtful, trustworthy people rooted in integrity in charge of society, and that the rules and resulting history are written by the winners, which are mostly greedy, self serving, often sociopathic businessmen…then stories like this confirm that cynicism.

I do believe this out of the blue 3 day war drama has something to do with a major research breakthrough at OpenAi. The fact that the Board has refused to state why Sam was fired even to this day has me very intriqued, something so secretive that nobody wants to say anything. Ironic that the company has Open in its name, its far from open and there is so much secrecy.

It's really creepy how devoted tech employees are to people who will inevitably replace them with a lower cost option.

Soooo for once the board of directors was thinking about ethics first and money second and everybody banded together to get this board dismissed and replaced with one who is going to be money first? And people are rejoicing???

I think it’s far more likely to be a situation similar to what happened at google a year or so ago where that one engineer thought the model was conscious. I think a lot of people don’t understand how difficult making an AGI is and how much more advanced than chatGPT it would actually be.

Finally a content creator that puts the name of the song playing at the end! A big thank you from all of those who just like me are attentive to music everywhere and at all times. Nowadays, you even hear crazy instrumentals and beats in the background of random videos everywhere or as opening/closing credits like here, nothing more frustrating in my book than not being able to identify them! Keep it up Dagogo! Cheers EDIT: Oh it is YOUR music even?? That's crazy! Quick question though, at the end of this vid, you write Burn Water - Honesty, but I can only find Being Honest? What's up with that? At any rate, the instrumental and vocals on Being Honest are ON POINT.

Moral of the story, never click a Google Meets link in the middle of the night lol

I think you forgot the part where Emmett Shear, the ex-CEO for 5 seconds, said that the dismissal wasn't about safety. Given that that's more of an official statement than the rumors about things like Q* I tend to believe that the reason for the firing was because Sam was just doing some backroom deals and wasn't being honest about them, which is why the board said that Sam "wasn't consistently candid". This is just my guess, based on the few statements we have. I don't want to rely on speculations, especially now at a time when people are capitalizing on the uncertainty. That being said, seeing how the investors particularly Microsoft came to Sam's rescue immediately makes me worry that AI safety has essentially been put to the side in favor of short term profits (ironically the opposite goal of the company). I sort of already knew that when the AI arms race started but now it seems much more clear who's running things.

As a guy who works in the software industry on the PM side of things, it's only a few more years before I'm replaced by AI. At the end of the day this is all for profit, whether it's is directly for OpenAI or their corporate clients.

The news were so confusing, so i looked for a tldr video and am glad i found it here. Thank you ❤

First half: Oh wow, thats fucked up. I cant believe the entire board tried to do him dirty like that, like a bunch of greedy snakes. Second half: Oh. Fuck.
