Artificial intelligence does this accelerate All. We said it on Monday Steve Jobs It took him eleven years to return to Apple after the board of directors expelled him from the company he founded. Sam Altman It took him five days to return to OpenAI as CEO after a sudden dismissal. This happened on a Friday, and today, on Wednesday, he became CEO of a revamped board that had already been created to suit him. If it’s not working, let a neural network come and see.
within 120 hours, Satya Nadellaman with Bill Gates Chosen as his successor at Microsoft (we don’t know if Satya would have been one of the “slackers” that Gates loved so much for his staff, but he had a clinical eye for the selection), he hatched what has been described as a “Mastermind” that placed the Redmond company in a new position. Movement” more dominant position maybe even more than I had before this OpenAI soap opera runaway race For the development of Artificial Intelligence and its huge business. Satya showed that he had a plan A, a plan B, and a plan C, and that he maneuvered with exquisite skill.
It wasn’t easy. We now know that we have completed assembling the missing pieces. WITH Altman They fired him on Friday, but on Sunday he returned to the OpenAI offices to take charge of the council. However, this was not possible that day. Company employees revolt to the rhythm of the phrase “OpenAI is nothing without its people” Mira Murati In fact, on the same Sunday, they riot again and make a final attempt to take control of the company by appointing the CEO. Emmett CuttingHe is the founder of Twitch and a strong supporter of stopping the artificial intelligence that Altman wants to develop. Then a huge Nadella shows up and puts the final blow on the table: He hires Sam Altman and former chairman Greg Brokman at Microsoft. More was not needed, because this move was enough to indicate that OpenAI would fall apart if Altman did not return.
In a message to X, the new CEO reminded him that his only goal these days is to keep his creature alive, wherever he goes: “I love OpenAI And all I’ve done for the last few days is keep this team and its mission together. When I decided to join MSFT on Sunday afternoon it was clear that this was the best path for me and the team. With the support of the new board and Satya“I look forward to returning to Openai and building on our strong partnership with MSFT.”
Nadella’s response was: “What encouraged us was this: OpenAI dashboard changes. We believe this is an important first step on the road to success. more stable management, more knowledgeable and effective. Sam, Greg, and I discussed and agreed that they, along with the OAI leadership team, had an important role to play in ensuring that OAI continued to thrive and advance its mission. We look forward to developing our strong partnership and we will deliver the value of this next generation of AI to our customers and partners.”
Far from giving us the image of a joke that some like Musk want to project, the soap opera has captured the world’s attention on AI (even using globally viral videos of “Risitas”, one of the “cuñaos” on a show by Jesús Quintero), bringing Altman, OpenAI It strengthened , and of course Microsoft. Elon Musk, parsley with all the toppings, also had a moment of triumph because, after all, this entire story was concocted on its worn-out old Twitter, X, which has once again demonstrated its functionality in the near future. But no matter how much he tried to make fun of the situation, the leadership was no longer Nadella and Microsoft.
