Sam Altman is out at OpenAI.

It felt like a hallucination, and it still does, but he confirmed the news.

He's gone.

We're going to record an emergency podcast to break down the news and explain what it means,

and we're going to do it right after this.

Hi, I'm Kwame Christian, CEO of the American Negotiation Institute, and I have a quick question for you.

When was the last time you had a difficult conversation?

These conversations happen all the time, and that's exactly why you should listen to Negotiate Anything,

the number one negotiation podcast in the world.

We produce episodes every single day to help you lead, persuade, and resolve conflicts both at work and at home.

So level up your negotiation skills by making Negotiate Anything part of your daily routine.

Welcome to Big Technology Podcast Emergency Edition.

Sam Altman has been fired by OpenAI Edition.

Holy moly.

There's no way.

No way we're waiting until Wednesday to cover the news on the podcast.

So instead, we're dropping an emergency episode here where we're going to talk about what happened, what it means, where Open AI goes from

here, and who did it? Because the board has been involved in literally the most shocking

firing in tech, I would have to say, in a decade or longer. And we don't know exactly why we did

it, but we can talk a little bit about who did it.

And that might give us some clues.

We're joined today by the senior AI writer at Venture Beat, Sharon Goldman.
