00:00 This week has been quite full of surprises for AI and technology.

00:05 The biggest news that shocked everyone was the firing of Sam Altman from the position

00:09 of CEO from OpenAI.

00:11 This recent shake-up saw Sam Altman being ousted by the board, alleging a lack of transparent

00:16 communication in a blog post.

00:18 The scriptic accusation fuelled rampant industry conjecture.

00:21 The board's statement remained vague about the exact nature of Altman's purported lapse.

00:26 Meanwhile, Meera Murati stepped in as the interim CEO.

00:30 Speculation intensified as rumours swirled in regarding escalating tensions between Altman

00:34 and the co-founder Ilya Sutskiy, a board member.

00:37 The board's assertion of Altman's inconsistent communication struck as dubious against the

00:41 backdrop of known discord, leading many to question the veracity of such stated reason

00:46 of Altman's removal.

00:48 Before any sort of conclusion could have been drawn, Sam Altman suddenly returned as CEO

00:52 due to staff threatening to quit en masse.

00:54 Altman had nearly joined Microsoft, but after that, normalcy resumed, but questions still

00:59 lingered.

01:00 Now, a startling revelation has emerged, tailing a fresh concern about the past events.

01:04 OpenAI CEO Sam Altman faced four-day exile reportedly after a group of staff researchers

01:10 warned the board about a potentially perilous AI discovery.

01:13 Yes, you heard that right.

01:14 A very dangerous AI discovery.

01:16 According to sources familiar with the matter, this undisclosed letter, along with the revelation

01:20 of an AI algorithm, catalyzed Altman's ousting.

01:23 On his return, over 700 employees threatened to leave in solidarity with Altman, favoring

01:28 Microsoft's support.

01:29 Although the exact number of the letter remains unrevealed and no one could verify it, sources

01:33 indicated that it played a serious role in board grievances culminating in Altman's dismissal.

01:39 One person said that OpenAI had sent an internal message to staffers regarding a project called

01:43 Q* and a letter to the board before the weekend events.

01:46 Some people at OpenAI believe that Q* could be a breakthrough in the startup's search

01:50 for what's known as Artificial General Intelligence.

01:53 OpenAI defines AGI as an autonomous system that surpasses humans in most economically

01:58 valuable tasks.

02:00 Given vast computing resources, the new model will be able to solve mathematical problems

02:04 without any hassle.

02:06 In addition, it could be much more advanced than the current GPT models.

02:10 This development indeed raised some serious inquiries.

02:12 Was this discovery a factor in previous boards' decision to remove Altman, fearing it might

02:16 pose a threat to humanity?

02:18 With Altman's return and with a new board in place, questions swirl about Q*.

02:23 Is it generally as potent as speculated, signalling a significant shift in AI capabilities?

02:28 If yes, the world is possibly just one step away from what we know is something dreadful.
