Sam Altman has been fired as CEO of OpenAI, the company announced on Friday.

“Mr. Altman’s departure follows a deliberative review process by the board, which concluded that he was not consistently candid in his communications with the board, hindering its ability to exercise its responsibilities,” the company said in its blog post.

On one hand, this was posted 15 minutes before you posted this... on the other hand, this is a much clearer headline

Really? I searched by new before I posted, saw nothing about Sam Altman.

EDITED TO ADD you can color me blind, because yeah, there's one titled "OpenAI announces leadership transition" right before mine. Shit. Not sure how to handle this, but if the mods want to delete mine they can.

In times of great dishonor, the Samurai would commit seppuku with their sword.

I have half a plastic knife I use on the cat food . . . will that do?

Alternatively, you can do sudoku.

But he still has to do it with the plastic knife.
