OpenAI's CEO Sam Altman recently expressed strong dissatisfaction with former board members during an interview with Bloomberg, reflecting on the circumstances surrounding his dismissal. Last November, the previous board of OpenAI suddenly fired him, citing a "lack of consistency and candor" in his communications with them.
Altman stated in the interview that he was very shocked at the time, as he believed the decision was unexpected. However, things changed quickly. Due to external pressure, the board soon reversed its decision and decided to reinstate Altman. Nevertheless, Altman insisted that he would only consider returning if the entire board resigned.
When discussing the brief appointment of Twitch co-founder Emmett Shear as OpenAI's CEO, Altman expressed his surprise. He said, "At that moment, I thought, 'Well, I'm really done for now,' because that was a real deception." This series of events made Altman realize that he had to deal with the mess left by some former board members and take on the responsibility of cleaning it up.
In the interview, Altman also revealed some past and future plans for OpenAI, such as considering charging $42 per month for ChatGPT and indicating that the company would announce more information about its chip plans within the year. This information has generated excitement about OpenAI's future development.
Altman's remarks were direct and powerful, demonstrating his determination and sense of responsibility in the face of the board's turmoil. He has now returned to OpenAI and hopes to lead the company toward a brighter future.
