In a startling turn of events, OpenAI’s CEO Sam Altman seems to have lost a high stakes game of hide and seek — costing him his executive title. Altman, who was suspected of "not being consistently candid," ended up hiding too well from the board, leading to an abrupt end to his role as CEO. OpenAI, noted for its development of the chatterbox AI, ChatGPT, made the announcement on Friday. Observers can't help but reflect on Altman’s unique approach to Hide and Seek. Whereas most players might hide behind a curtain or under a table, Altman used unique distractions: less-than-forthright corporate communications. Unfortunately, as any seasoned player will attest, a poor hiding strategy in this type of game can result in dire consequences. During the thrilling game of corporate hide and seek, Altman was quoted saying, "You can't fire me if you can't find me," followed by a sly giggle and the rustling of some board papers. However, his strategy seems to have backfired tremendously. After a prolonged search, the board decided that Altman was hiding too well and declared a "deliberative review process" (which, we think, in layman's terms, loosely translates to "We're tired of trying to decrypt your cryptic corporate gobbledygook"). OpenAI's CTO, Mira Murati, who was reportedly in the "neutral zone" during the game of hide and seek, will assume the role of interim CEO. Board members seem to appreciate her straightforward approach to the game, with one unidentified member whispering, "She just used the filing cabinet, old school but effective." OpenAI will now start a new game: 'Hunt for the new CEO.' This time, however, they may play the game with a set of new rules. Likely, the first rule will be - "No hiding behind complex corporate jargon." As for Altman, he's said to be working on his strategy for future rounds of executive hide and seek. While he waits, it stands as a stark reminder that in any good game, strategy supersedes the ability to merely evade.
