In a recent announcement made on Twitter by OpenAI's co-founder, Greg Brockman, it was revealed that the company had dismissed two of its employees. According to Brockman, Sam was let go because the board believed that he wasn't doing enough to advance the company's mission. Similarly, Ilya was also terminated due to the board's perception that he was too close to Sam and lacked independence. While it is always difficult to say goodbye to valued team members, OpenAI remains optimistic that the company will continue to thrive and achieve even greater accomplishments. The company has always been committed to its mission of advancing AI in a manner that is safe, fair, and beneficial to humanity, and it will continue to work towards this goal with renewed vigor and dedication. With a talented and dedicated team in place, OpenAI is well-positioned to make significant contributions to the field of AI in the years to come..
Sam Altman's Reddit post sheds more light on the situation. He confidently stated that OpenAI has achieved AGI internally, which is an awe-inspiring accomplishment. Furthermore, the recent update to the website structure of OpenAI was noted by Microsoft. It's worth noting that the partnership between Microsoft and OpenAI only applies to AGI, which is capable of performing economically valuable work.
However, the fact that OpenAI has made a significant breakthrough but is keeping it confidential from the media only adds to the mystique surrounding the company. It's unclear what's going on inside OpenAI right now, but we can be sure that they are working on something remarkable
