Sam Altman slams former OpenAI board member who fired him

Odaily reports that OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has harshly criticized the sudden dismissal of his former board members in late November last year. "I feel that the people who really hurt me and the company have left, and now I have to clean up their mess," he said in a wide-ranging interview. Just over a year ago, OpenAI's old board dismissed Altman on the grounds that he was "not always honest" in communicating with board members. According to Altman, the board quickly changed direction under pressure, and Altman agreed to return only if the entire board resigned. Twitch co-founder Emmett Shear was briefly appointed as OpenAI's CEO, which caught Altman off guard. "I thought, 'Okay, now I'm really done,' because that was real deception," he said. The interview also revealed other interesting news about OpenAI's past and future, such as the company's consideration of charging $42 per month for ChatGPT, and OpenAI's plan to reveal more information about its chip plans this year.
