      The fired him, then after an outpouring from others in OpenAI, they said they’d rehire him, but he said the only way he’d come back is if the board all fucked off. Then he took a job at Microsoft and took a lot of his homies with him. Honestly, it started off like a bad weekend for Sam, but this has some real Parker Lewis Can’t Lose energy going on.

          They own 50% of the company but they do not get a seat on the board. From my understanding that was a big part of OpenAI accepting the deal.

          They do not. The OpenAI non-profit which is the board owns the for-profit, which MS invested in.

      Microsoft hired him and apparently that means they’re done? 🤷

      Edit: why the downvotes?
