We have reached an agreement in principle for Sam Altman to return to OpenAI as CEO with a new initial board of Bret Taylor (Chair), Larry Summers, and Adam D'Angelo.

We are collaborating to figure out the details. Thank you so much for your patience through this.

Seems like the person running the simulation had enough and loaded the earlier quicksave.

Wasn't it that Microsoft hired him already???

I believe they did but were of the understanding he’d go back to OpenAI if the board changed their mind (like what happened). It was basically his golden parachute.

So what, can't he be a CEO hired by Microsoft?... I dunno, this looks like some 5D chess.

Sure, that's possible.

But Microsoft never actually signed an employment contract with Sam and it doesn't look like they ever will. Just because someone says they plan to do something doesn't mean it will happen.
