In my opinion, be it good or bad, a decision is made by the board. It wouldn’t look good for the board to reverse it.
But I think Microsoft may be able to pull it off though.
“Satya Nadella, the CEO of Microsoft, a major OpenAI partner, was reportedly “furious” to learn of Altman’s departure “minutes” after it happened, and has been in touch with Altman — and pledged to support him — as OpenAI backers recruit Microsoft’s aid in exerting pressure on the board to reverse course. Meanwhile, some key venture capital backers of OpenAI are said to be contemplating a lawsuit against the board; none, including Khosla Ventures and LinkedIn co-founder Reid Hoffman, a former OpenAI board member, were given advance notice of the decision to fire Altman.”
Greg has also resigned 2) Satya leading the negotiations 3) Andrej stated, “Board had a chance to explain…and they didn’t” ----> indicating a) a breakdown in communication between the board and key employees and b) they may be leaving. 4) Sama was at HQ with a guest pass.
