I’m honestly not up-to-date with the news on this fiasco. Can someone help reconcile the news about employees saying Altman deprioritized safety for speed and profit and this one where employees actually want him back? Are these different groups?
Things are somewhat fresh and still extremely confusing. Altman was fired last friday in a “surprise coup”. One of the guys, Ilya Sutskever, had a hand in that. In a very weird twist, he’s also on the list of people asking to bring Sam Altman back.
Perhaps more information came to light and they changed their mind or they’re playing both sides.
Edit: “…about the safety and speed of OpenAI’s tech deployment.”
Sounds like he was going to slow and being too cautious and they wanted faster progress so they canned him without realizing the backlash and are trying to walk it back.

To me that sounds like many people in that list didn’t get in by themselves
I think the employees that are anti-Sam are the ones this letter is addressed to.
