As if firing Sam Altman wasn’t enough, the company brought him back on less than a week later, reinstating him in his original position. Altman’s first order of business was replacing most of the board members who’d betrayed him. Chief Scientist Ilya Sutskever was among them. Sutskever is no longer on the board of directors. As of press time, there’s no word on what his next role will be at the company, if any. Altman said, “we hope to continue our working relationship and are discussing how he can continue his work at OpenAI.” Sutskever has said he regrets his role in Altman’s ousting.
