There are comments from some OpenAI insiders that the OpenAI executive and board battle will be resolved by the end of today.
However, it looks like many key OpenAI will leave for new or other companies. There will be the winning group that stays at OpenAI and then the losing side will go to its own new company and some other staff will also leave to other companies.
Another insight.
Deep in the comments of this tweet, @OfficialLoganK commented on OpenAI developer @willdepue’s post with:
“See you on Monday”
This means we’ll know what will happen with Sam Altman, Greg, the board, and the team by the end of today (Sunday).
Stay tuned… https://t.co/hI5XnNaSxy

That ate-a-pi Twitter account writes fan fic about the news. I blocked it very early after it started tweeting about the Korean superconductor paper a few months ago. Creative, but not someone you should read if you want to be less confused.
