On the news/rumours: OpenAI is in talks with Sam Altman about his possible return as CEO. Altman's dismissal appears to have driven the company into crisis. According to Wall Street Journal sources, Altman is considering a return, but he wants a completely new board for the company. OpenAI's investors are trying to get Sam Altman back as CEO. Many OpenAI staffers were set to resign. If Altman decides to leave and start a new company, those staffers would assuredly go with him.

"Sam Altman’s surprise move to Microsoft after his shock firing at OpenAI isn’t a done deal. He and co-founder Greg Brockman are still willing to return to OpenAI if the remaining board members who fired him step aside".
