OpenAI said on Wednesday that it had reached a principled agreement to return Sam Altman to the company as CEO. One X user commented: "Ultraman Sam just returned and it felt like you watched a movie and they woke up at the end and realized it was all a dream."
Musk responded: "OpenAI (semi-)independence may be better for the world than merging with Microsoft. Power is not so concentrated." Microsoft had previously planned to let Altman join to lead a new research laboratory and accept a large number of employees who resigned from OpenAI.
OpenAI stated that it has reached an agreement in principle for Sam Altman to resume his position as CEO, and Sam Altman will return to OpenAI as CEO. On the same day, Altman said he was looking forward to returning to OpenAI and consolidating a strong partnership with Microsoft.
