The second season of OpenAI’s internal fighting is updated again!
In the first episode, former chief scientist Ilya’s new position has not yet been determined, and he himself:
Haven't been to the office for a week
Also hired a private lawyer
In the second episode, OpenAI’s internal employees may not be as united as Twitter❤️❤️Solitaire:
Altman was accused of psychologically "abusing" employees and creating chaos within OpenAI before he was fired from OpenAI.
Employees may have been subject to peer pressure when signing a joint resignation letter
Ilya hasn't been to the office for a week
Although after Ultraman returned, he sent an internal letter to all employees, in which he specifically emphasized that he had "zero malice" towards Ilya, and also stated that he "hopes to continue working with Ilya and is discussing how to keep him at OpenAI." .
But when Ultraman faced foreign media The Verge, he admitted that he was indeed "hurt and angry."
To this day, Ilya's stay and position are still pending.
Foreign media Business Insider learned from insiders that although Ilya previously played an important role in the company, the work he was previously responsible for is now being gradually taken over by others. There is some discussion that Ilya will get a new position in the company.
Last Friday, Ilya and Greg Brockman posted a photo on X (formerly Twitter). The two were smiling and holding hands, which seemed to send a signal: they both wanted to go back to work.
However, after posting the photo with Brockman, Ilya’s first post again showed a sudden change in style:
I’ve learned a lot of lessons over the past month. One of the lessons is that the phrase "beating will continue until morale improves" is applied more often than expected.
This post was deleted shortly after it was published, and there is no news yet about what happened.
It was also parodied and turned into a new meme.
Then it was revealed that Ilya had not been to the office for a week and had hired lawyer Alex Weingarten from Willkie Farr & Gallagher.
An insider said that Ilya permissions are still retained in OpenAI’s Slack and other systems.
Someone who knows Ilya said:
He is a "very deep" person both emotionally and intellectually, who may not appear to be entirely focused on the present, but is actually just processing things in a different way.
But what happens if Ilya stays or goes? A Microsoft insider believes that it is impossible for Ultraman, Ilya, and Brockman to collaborate again:
Especially Ilya and Brockman. In Silicon Valley, betrayal between founders is considered blasphemous.
Similarly, a former OpenAI employee said that some employees loyal to Ultraman may also find it difficult to work with Ilya:
Once trust is broken, it cannot be restored.
Ultraman really reveals previously unexplored details
In addition to Ilya's latest news, more inside stories have been revealed about the Ultraman "True Return" incident.
According to the Wall Street Journal, the board of directors received a wave of employee complaints before Altman was fired. These complaints were an important factor in the board's sudden decision to fire Altman.
In the complaint, Altman is accused of psychologically "abusing" employees, instigating employee relations and creating chaos in the company.
For example, Helen Toner, the original board member of OpenAI, was dismissed for publishing a veiled criticism of OpenAI-related papers. In this incident, the board members believed that Altman had lied to them and misrepresented their thoughts, saying that they all supported the dismissal. Helen.
The accusations triggered a review of Altman's conduct by the board, which also considered complaints from several employees who said they feared retaliation from Altman.
One told the board that Altman became hostile toward him and undermined his standing within his team after he provided critical feedback to the CEO.
In addition, OpenAI may not be as united as it appears on the surface.
Soon after Altman was ousted as CEO, his supporters began to undermine the board's decision, arguing that the board acted illegally.
Businessinsider broke the news that OpenAI employees faced tremendous peer pressure when it came to signing large-scale resignation letters.
Someone called late at night to urge employees to sign.
For a time, this also triggered many employees to post on X to refute:
There was no coercion in signing the resignation letter. Half of the company signed the agreement at 2-3 a.m. This cannot be solved by peer pressure.
...(I can’t finish this melon)
And there's another reason why long-term employees want Altman back: His departure jeopardizes an investment deal.
In October, OpenAI organized a new round of tender offer plan with a valuation of US$86 billion, allowing employees to sell their shares back to OpenAI and cash in their equity without waiting for the company to go public. The original plan was scheduled to end in early December.
Altman's resignation has occurred, and many people are worried that the tender offer will not proceed as originally planned, and some investors have even withdrawn.
But after Altman's return, news emerged that Altman had postponed the original planned end date by a month to give employees more time to consider whether to sell their shares through a tender offer.
