Today is November 20, 2023. The air in OpenAI's headquarters hung heavy with anticipation as the news of Ultraman's abrupt dismissal swept through the corridors. For those of us who had toiled day in and day out under his leadership, it was as if the very foundation of our work had been shaken. The unexpected departure of the CEO, aptly nicknamed Ultraman, sent shockwaves through the organization, leaving a tapestry of uncertainty in its wake.
I, an employee navigating the intricate web of servers and algorithms, found myself caught in the crosscurrents of a company in upheaval. As the power outage in ChatGPT's servers had momentarily disrupted the digital realm, Ultraman's exit disrupted the delicate balance within the physical confines of OpenAI.
The official narrative spoke of a breakdown in communication between Ultraman and the board of directors, but the whispers in the hallways hinted at a deeper, more intricate web of corporate intrigue. The appointment of Mira as the interim CEO and the removal of "break break" as the chairman of the board were chess moves in a game that eluded our understanding.
The cryptic message Ultraman left on social media added a layer of mystique to the unfolding drama. It was a signal that this chapter was far from closed, and major revelations were on the horizon. Greg's voluntary departure, coupled with his less-than-optimistic forecast, left us grappling with the uncertainty of OpenAI's future.
