Internally OpenAI is going through a chain of chaotic days. After firing OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, hundreds of the company's employees recently wrote a letter asking the OpenAI board to resign.

Late last week, OpenAI's board of directors decided to dismiss CEO Altman, accusing him of a lack of transparency in communication and questioning his leadership abilities. This caused great opposition from OpenAI employees, many of whom still support the old CEO. Greg Brockman, President and co-founder of OpenAI, resigned shortly after, along with three other senior researchers, as reported by The Information.

Not long after, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella announced that Sam Altman and Greg Brockman had joined Microsoft to lead the senior AI research team. Microsoft hopes to continue working with OpenAI to implement the product roadmap.

This has made many employees at OpenAI dissatisfied. So 505 of OpenAI's 700 employees signed a letter asking the board to resign and appoint two new independent directors, possibly Bret Taylor and Will Hurd, and reinstate Brockman and Will Hurd. Altman.

Notably, in the letter, the employees hinted that they might move to Microsoft if this was not resolved:

“Microsoft has guaranteed that there are positions for all OpenAI employees at the new subsidiary if we decide to join.”

This drama is also affecting Worldcoin price, as Altman is a key link between OpenAI and the WLD ecosystem.

Affected by the news of #OpenAI ex-CEO Sam Altman( @sama ), the price of $WLD experienced huge fluctuations and reached an all-time high.

The market maker # GSR deposited a total of 1.83M $WLD ($4.47M) to exchanges in the past 7 hours. https://t.co/YN7DSxxWoO pic.twitter.com/qKxLE9DLhU
