Sam Altman now works for Microsoft

 

Sam Altman was not long unemployed.

 

A few days after his dismissal from the head of OpenAI position, he headed the AI direction in Microsoft.

 

It was a quick move.

 

Sam is certainly one of the most charismatic personalities in the IT industry. It would be strange if his career developed as a standard. His dismissal was a perfect example of a corporate thriller: a board of directors suddenly gathered and swept Altman away. The explanation of the loss of trust was not convincing, or at least not enough.

The sudden layoff caused an avalanche of comments and understandable outrage among investors.

 

And it was really understandable. Microsoft has provided billions of investments, including, given the personality of the head of OpenAI, who suddenly became an ex-head.

It is difficult to say what the relationship between Microsoft and OpenAI will be after this case, but it is possible to say for sure that Altman will not lack funds.

 

The unresolved question remains: why Altman was fired? What did he do to disappoint OpenAI and at the same time to satisfy Microsoft?

 

I wonder how important it is to have a proper manager and a developer. You can gather cool teams, however, very much depends on the leader, and not always this role can be learned. It is a talent!

 

On the other hand, the caase of Altman’s dismissal and instant employment proves that AI cannot replace talented managers. At least not yet.
