Sam Altman

Billionaire OpenAI CEO Sam Altman reportedly claimed developers of his $27 million San Francisco estate rushed to sell the property, even with shoddy construction.

Microsoft has invested $13 billion in OpenAI, but said in a letter it felt confident over the ChatGPT maker’s future and no longer believed an observer seat on the startup’s board was necessary.

Hours after Apple announced “Apple Intelligence” — its new generative artificial intelligence initiatives — billionaire Elon Musk blasted the announcement in a series of tweets. If Apple “integrates OpenAI at the OS level,” all Apple devices will be banned at his companies, Musk says.

Australian AI policy expert Helen Toner – formerly an OpenAI board member – spoke about her experiences with Altman on the TED AI podcast this week. The CEO lied, withheld and misrepresented information to the board, Toner says.

Sam Altman and Jahm Najafi are some of the prominent philanthropists who joined the Giving Pledge in 2024.

GPT-4 is expanding its capabilities, and adding an o – meaning omni, or ‘all’ – to its name. OpenAI says GPT-4o is a step towards more natural human-computer interaction.

CEO Sam Altman famously has no equity in OpenAI, but startup bets like Reddit, Stripe and Helion have made him a billionaire anyway, a Forbes investigation found.

Sam Altman will reportedly return to the board of OpenAI, even after that same board ousted him for allegedly failing to be “candid” with it.

In a blog post, OpenAI says Musk wanted to merge the company with Tesla, and when this didn’t happen, he gave it a “0%” chance of succeeding against Google.

Musk claimed OpenAI and Altman elected to use the company’s technology “to maximize profits” for Microsoft rather than for the benefit of humanity, adding that its entire line of development “is now veiled in secrecy.”
