Description

The OpenAI Board on Friday dropped a bombshell: The biggest AI start-up was firing its CEO and Co-Founder Sam Altman. Then a weekend of chaos: Sam is going back, no, it’s a new CEO (Emmett Sheer from Twitch), Sam is hired by Microsoft or is he? WHAT HAPPENED? In our emergency episode, we catch you up on the timeline so far (in the most human of terms) and give you our thoughts on what all this means for the future of both ChatGPT / OpenAI and the overall AI world. We’re here to help you decode the weird world of AI and even insane news like this. Be sure to follow us here and on our YT / TT handles for more updates as they happen.
