Sam Altman Criticizes Former OpenAI Board Members Over Dismissal

According to Odaily, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has expressed strong criticism towards former board members who abruptly dismissed him in late November last year. In a comprehensive interview, Altman stated, "I feel that those who truly harmed me and the company are gone, and now I have to clean up their mess." Over a year ago, OpenAI's previous board dismissed Altman, citing a lack of consistent honesty in his communications with board members. Altman explained that the board quickly reversed its decision under pressure, agreeing to his return only if the entire board resigned. The brief appointment of Twitch co-founder Emmett Shear as OpenAI CEO caught Altman off guard. "I thought, 'Well, now I'm really done,' because that was true deception," he remarked. The interview also revealed intriguing details about OpenAI's past and future, including the company's consideration of charging $42 per month for ChatGPT and plans to disclose more about its chip initiatives this year.
