The excitement in the field of artificial intelligence skyrocketed with the release of OpenAI’s GPT-3 in November 2022. With the tangible realization of AI, which has been the subject of numerous books and movies, the potential in this field became even more apparent. We have witnessed the consequences of this development in various aspects, from Nvidia’s stock price to AI-focused altcoins like FET Coin.
OpenAI and Reshuffling
We previously reported the last-minute news of Sam Altman’s reshuffling. The announcement text contained softened expressions. Sam was accused of not being sincere with the board of directors and was said to have been reshuffled for undisclosed reasons. Following the reshuffle on November 17th, it was reported that three senior researchers left the AI company.
Mira Murati is currently serving as the interim CEO. However, after this decision, we witnessed a wave of surprising resignations. Greg Brockman, co-founder and president of OpenAI, announced his departure hours later. High-level resignations followed one after another, including OpenAI’s research director Jakub Pachocki, Aleksander Madry, and senior researcher Szymon Sidor.
More Resignations to Come
Alex Cohen, responsible for preparing presentations for OpenAI’s board of directors, was also one of the surprising departures. In a message shared on social media, he stated that this decision came as a surprise to him and that he was fired from the company with Sam’s message.
“No one told me why I was fired, but Sam messaged me ‘wtf’ and then I realized that my Slack and Gmail were disabled. I bet 40% of OpenAI employees are currently looking for new roles. Sam and Greg were one of the main reasons people joined the company, and I don’t believe they will stay without them.”
Following the announcement of Sam Altman, one of the founders of Worldcoin, being reshuffled, WLD Coin experienced a significant decline. However, with other high-level figures following his lead, the price rose from $1.8 to over $2.25.
Cardano founder Hoskinson took advantage of the situation and invited Sam Altman to join the ecosystem’s decentralized large language model (LLM). What will happen next remains a subject of curiosity.
