Someone is lying about OpenAI, either Sam Altman, the Board of Directors, or both.
It is November 22, 2023, and you're watching the Code Report.
Welcome back to the program.
Let's first do a quick recap on what's happened over the last few days.
On Friday around 3 PM, Sam Altman joins a Google Meet, where he's fired by OpenAI's board of directors, including chief scientist and cofounder, Ilya Sutskeberg.
A few minutes later, an open AI statement goes public, blaming how Altman was fired for not being consistently candid in his communications with the board, which implies some sort of lying by omission.
OpenAI president Greg Brockman was also demoted to the CEO.
However, he promptly quit rather than be disrespected like this.
In addition, Sam Altman sent this cryptic tweet saying, I Love you all, making it obvious that Ilia had betrayed him, giving us a narrative that plays out almost exactly like Shakespeare's Julius Caesar, where the dictator becomes too much of dick.
And then when he sees a good friend among his assassin says, YouTube Brutus, by Saturday, there were all kinds of theories floating around, like OpenAI had discovered artificial general intelligence or some other their highly dangerous digital consciousness, and it was too dangerous to have Altman at the helm.
Or maybe Altman was getting too friendly with the Saudis, raising money for his AI chip side hustles.
We're getting there, I'm money.
And another thing making Altman look bad is this letter from former OpenAI employees that contains various allegations of dishonesty that need to be investigated further.
However, an internal to a memo leak saying that his firing wasn't due to any malfeasance or technological issues.
Now by Sunday, Altman was already back in the building with a guest badge, negotiating his return to open AI with Microsoft CEO, Sadia Nattala.
These talks ended in a stalemate because Sadia wanted to use Microsoft Teams, but the OpenAI Board refused to eyes on Google Meet.
So Altman and Brockman formed a new AI research team at Microsoft and will likely be taking many OpenAI employees with them.
Them.
On Twitter, tons of people started repeating this cult like chant, OpenAI is nothing without its people.
And a little pro tip here, if you haven't done so already, I'd recommend sending out this tweet yourself because you'll instantly get multiple DMs with job offers.
Over 500 OpenAI employees have threatened to quit who could easily be absorbed by Microsoft to completely dominate the AI space.
Now, in what seems to be an incredibly weak move, Ilyasudskeever tweeted that he regrets his actions in participating with the board to fire Altman.
Many people have said that he's the brain behind open AI and the single most important figure when it comes to the technology itself.
And he sent this ominous tweet a few weeks ago that said if you value human intelligence above all else, you are going to Have a bad time.
And now fast forward to Tuesday, November 21st, Altman officially leaves Microsoft and goes back to OpenAI as CEO.
As of right now, the situation is still volatile, but it looks like Microsoft is going to come out the big winner.
Altman himself is also a big winner who now looks like an irreplaceable CEO with overwhelming support from employees.
What's weird though is someone has to be lying.
The board of directors indicated that Altman was lying about something very serious because there's no way you just fire someone who's as smart, effective, gay, and well connected as Sam Altman, especially right before Hanukkah.
Most likely it would be some kind of major conflict of interest, like where he's using his position to make bank behind everyone's backs by forming ship startups with the Saudis.
But it seems like if there was a really good reason for his firing, somebody would have leaked that information out by now to have it all make sense in the first place.
Maybe the board is lying, and they didn't really have a reason to fire Altman.
Aside from the fact that they thought he was becoming too powerful and influential, he was pushing AI commercialization too far, which some people think is a very dangerous thing for humanity.
Therefore, the Board took action to save humanity by getting rid of Altman at the first possible opportunity, but this also doesn't make a ton of sense because they had to have known this back Flash was coming, and Altman could just go start his own AI thing at Microsoft without the arbitrary moral limitations imposed by the nonprofit OpenAI.
Others have speculated that board member Adam D'Angelo was behind the firing because he's the CEO of Quora, which is an unusable knock off of Yahoo Answers that recently released its an AI product called Poe.
Then on chat gpt dev day a few weeks ago, it immediately became obsolete.
The problem is that D'Angelo is returning to the board along with Altman as CEO, Which means he's probably not the source of the drama.
Although he did vote to fire Altman, the board members not returning are the 2 women, Tasha McCauley and Helen Toner, a big win for the patriarchy.
To you.
And apparently, Toner and Altman weren't playing well together recently.
To replace them, we've got Brett Taylor, who was the former chairman of the board at Twitter before Elon took over.
And Larry Summers, who was the former secretary of the treasury, appointed shortly after Bill Clinton did not have sexual relations with that woman.
The only other possibility is that everybody is lying.
Altman, the board, and Microsoft are all working together on a giant publicity stunt as part of a grand strategy to consolidate power and achieve regulatory capture, where the techno kings get to regulate themselves to carry on the tradition of crony capitalism here in America to ultimately make it impossible for anyone to compete with OpenAI and Microsoft.
This was all planned out in May of 2023 at the Bilderberg meeting, which was attended by people like Altman, Nadella, and elite insiders like Henry Kissinger.
They borrowed the story from Shakespeare's Julius Caesar to keep us all entertained.
And if you enjoyed it, you're really going to to the next act, where Altman brings us his final alternative to man.
That brings us back into perpetual balance with nature, just as the guide stones require.
Welcome back to the Code Report.

In a Code Report, the host discusses the firing of the OpenAI board of directors and former CEO, Ilya Sutselaer, for lying about the company's AI policies. The host also mentions a letter from Altman, which they believe to be a lie, and a letter from former employees, which they believe to be a lie. The host also mentions a potential conflict of interest between Altman and Microsoft's CEO, Sadia Nattala, and the possibility of a major conflict of interest between Altman and Microsoft's CEO, Brett Taylor.
The truth about the OpenAI drama
Someone is lying about OpenAI, either Sam Altman, the Board of Directors, or both. It is November 22, 2023, and you're watching the Code Report. Welcome back to the program. Let's first do a quick recap on what's happened over the last few days. On Friday around 3 PM, Sam Altman joins a Google Meet, where he's fired by OpenAI's board of directors, including chief scientist and cofounder, Ilya Sutskeberg. A few minutes later, an open AI statement goes public, blaming how Altman was fired for not being consistently candid in his communications with the board, which implies some sort of lying by omission. OpenAI president Greg Brockman was also demoted to the CEO. However, he promptly quit rather than be disrespected like this. In addition, Sam Altman sent this cryptic tweet saying, I Love you all, making it obvious that Ilia had betrayed him, giving us a narrative that plays out almost exactly like Shakespeare's Julius Caesar, where the dictator becomes too much of dick. And then when he sees a good friend among his assassin says, YouTube Brutus, by Saturday, there were all kinds of theories floating around, like OpenAI had discovered artificial general intelligence or some other their highly dangerous digital consciousness, and it was too dangerous to have Altman at the helm. Or maybe Altman was getting too friendly with the Saudis, raising money for his AI chip side hustles. We're getting there, I'm money. And another thing making Altman look bad is this letter from former OpenAI employees that contains various allegations of dishonesty that need to be investigated further. However, an internal to a memo leak saying that his firing wasn't due to any malfeasance or technological issues. Now by Sunday, Altman was already back in the building with a guest badge, negotiating his return to open AI with Microsoft CEO, Sadia Nattala. These talks ended in a stalemate because Sadia wanted to use Microsoft Teams, but the OpenAI Board refused to eyes on Google Meet. So Altman and Brockman formed a new AI research team at Microsoft and will likely be taking many OpenAI employees with them. Them. On Twitter, tons of people started repeating this cult like chant, OpenAI is nothing without its people. And a little pro tip here, if you haven't done so already, I'd recommend sending out this tweet yourself because you'll instantly get multiple DMs with job offers. Over 500 OpenAI employees have threatened to quit who could easily be absorbed by Microsoft to completely dominate the AI space. Now, in what seems to be an incredibly weak move, Ilyasudskeever tweeted that he regrets his actions in participating with the board to fire Altman. Many people have said that he's the brain behind open AI and the single most important figure when it comes to the technology itself. And he sent this ominous tweet a few weeks ago that said if you value human intelligence above all else, you are going to Have a bad time. And now fast forward to Tuesday, November 21st, Altman officially leaves Microsoft and goes back to OpenAI as CEO. As of right now, the situation is still volatile, but it looks like Microsoft is going to come out the big winner. Altman himself is also a big winner who now looks like an irreplaceable CEO with overwhelming support from employees. What's weird though is someone has to be lying. The board of directors indicated that Altman was lying about something very serious because there's no way you just fire someone who's as smart, effective, gay, and well connected as Sam Altman, especially right before Hanukkah. Most likely it would be some kind of major conflict of interest, like where he's using his position to make bank behind everyone's backs by forming ship startups with the Saudis. But it seems like if there was a really good reason for his firing, somebody would have leaked that information out by now to have it all make sense in the first place. Maybe the board is lying, and they didn't really have a reason to fire Altman. Aside from the fact that they thought he was becoming too powerful and influential, he was pushing AI commercialization too far, which some people think is a very dangerous thing for humanity. Therefore, the Board took action to save humanity by getting rid of Altman at the first possible opportunity, but this also doesn't make a ton of sense because they had to have known this back Flash was coming, and Altman could just go start his own AI thing at Microsoft without the arbitrary moral limitations imposed by the nonprofit OpenAI. Others have speculated that board member Adam D'Angelo was behind the firing because he's the CEO of Quora, which is an unusable knock off of Yahoo Answers that recently released its an AI product called Poe. Then on chat gpt dev day a few weeks ago, it immediately became obsolete. The problem is that D'Angelo is returning to the board along with Altman as CEO, Which means he's probably not the source of the drama. Although he did vote to fire Altman, the board members not returning are the 2 women, Tasha McCauley and Helen Toner, a big win for the patriarchy. To you. And apparently, Toner and Altman weren't playing well together recently. To replace them, we've got Brett Taylor, who was the former chairman of the board at Twitter before Elon took over. And Larry Summers, who was the former secretary of the treasury, appointed shortly after Bill Clinton did not have sexual relations with that woman. The only other possibility is that everybody is lying. Altman, the board, and Microsoft are all working together on a giant publicity stunt as part of a grand strategy to consolidate power and achieve regulatory capture, where the techno kings get to regulate themselves to carry on the tradition of crony capitalism here in America to ultimately make it impossible for anyone to compete with OpenAI and Microsoft. This was all planned out in May of 2023 at the Bilderberg meeting, which was attended by people like Altman, Nadella, and elite insiders like Henry Kissinger. They borrowed the story from Shakespeare's Julius Caesar to keep us all entertained. And if you enjoyed it, you're really going to to the next act, where Altman brings us his final alternative to man. That brings us back into perpetual balance with nature, just as the guide stones require. Welcome back to the Code Report. Thanks for watching and I will see you in the next one.
