Microsoft on Monday hired Sam Altman and Greg Brockman for its AI advanced research team, effectively overriding OpenAI's distrust in the two top leaders, one of whom was fired and the other resigned as chairperson of the non-profit firm.
Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella broke the news on X, days after the quasi-coup at OpenAI which sent the tech chat in tizzy on social media -- at one point rife with speculations that OpenAI was regretting the move and was in the process to undo it by taking Altman back.
As it happened, OpenAI on Monday, having since appointing chief technology officer Mira Murati its interim CEO, finally threw its lot in favor of Emmett Shear, the 40-year-old ex-boss of Twitch, by bringing him as Altman's replacement.
