Before Thanksgiving, Nadella penned an internal memo to employees, lauding the remarkable pace of innovation amidst ongoing global hardships and uncertainties.
Microsoft, which has invested billions of dollars in OpenAI and has rights to its technology, quickly moved to hire Altman on Monday, as well as another co-founder and former president, Greg Brockman, who had quit in protest after Altman's removal.
Altman, who was fired by OpenAI last week, was in discussions with the company's board for a re-entry but the deal fell apart and the ChatGPT developer hired former Twitch CEO Emmett Shear as interim CEO.
Shear joined Y Combinator as a part-time partner in June 2011, where he offers advice to the new startups in each batch. He was included on Forbes Magazine's 30 Under 30 list in 2012. In 2005, Shear, along with Justin Kan, launched Kiko Calendar, an online Ajax-based calendar app.
The Authors’ Guild, along with prominent writers including Jonathan Franzen, John Grisham, George R.R. Martin, and Jodi Picoult, file new lawsuit against OpenAI in Southern District of New York.
The lawsuit, filed in the Northern District of California, alleged that OpenAI used “stolen data to train and develop” its products including ChatGPT 3.5, ChatGPT 4, DALL-E, and VALL-E.
