GDI Video - Game of OpenAI Thrones - DTNS 4649 Extended

Added 2023-11-20 22:45:11 +0000 UTC

GM’s robotaxi startup Cruise co-founder and CEO Kyle Vogt announced his resignation. And We go into the details behind OpenAI’s board firing of CEO Sam Altman.

Respect my AI-thority! - GDI 4649 starts at 35:53

The OpenAI discussion continues. So many questions about why all this happened. Will this end with just a personality conflict? So many possible ways this can end up as a good thing. Was this all about keeping products secret? Is everything just junior high school? Does the time of the announcement make a difference? Is Satya Nadella the real winner here? Is the town square on fire? Did the board miscalculate the outcome of their decision? Does Satya Nadella go to the company picnic? Do you want a data modem in your MacBook?

Starring Tom Merritt, Nica Montford, Roger Chang, Joe.
