🚨 AI Drama Alert! 🚨
Former OpenAI head of special projects just left to join a new AI lab founded by none other than ex-OpenAI boss Mira Murati—the queen of AGI dreams 🤖✨. According to whispers, Murati has already snatched 🕵️♀️ about 10 top-tier researchers and engineers from OpenAI, Google DeepMind, and Character AI. Her new company? Still nameless and directionless 🚶♀️🤷♀️, but everyone’s hyped anyway.
The Backstory
Murati left OpenAI shortly after CEO Sam Altman got temporarily fired in late 2023—a boardroom drama worthy of Netflix 🍿. During the chaos, Murati became interim CEO for a hot second, and Altman was like, “Ouch, that hurts” 😬. He even called it the “low point” of the mess.
But surprise! 💥 After 730 OpenAI employees threatened to walk out ✊, Altman made a comeback like a true AI boss 🏆.
Murati’s Big Move
After the dust settled, Murati stayed at OpenAI for 10 more months, working alongside Altman. When she left, her goodbye note was all like:
“No hard feelings, just chasing my dreams ✌️”
Fast forward a month, and rumor has it she’s raising $100 million 🤑 for her secretive startup.
OpenAI’s Brain Drain 🧠🚪
The exodus of OpenAI talent is wild:
- Barret Zoph (VP of research) and Bob McGrew (chief research officer) peaced out.
- OG cofounder Ilya Sutskever said, “Later, nerds!”, and started Safe Superintelligence, which casually raised $1 billion 🏦.
- Even Anthropic, another major rival, is basically an OpenAI reunion with billions of dollars in funding 💸.
Looks like the AI world is one big messy group chat—full of breakups, makeups, and startup glow-ups 💔💼🚀.
