Was this announced before or is this the first time they've mentioned it?
- eitally 8y agoIt was tangentially implied in the "YC Updates" thread from a few days ago, where it mentioned Sam "stepping away" to "focus on open.ai".
- bredren 8y agoI did not think this was implied by the previous statement. But I have not been following org structure of openai at all.
- mikeyouse 8y agoNope, it was mentioned last Friday in a blog post (that he was stepping down from YC): https://blog.ycombinator.com/updates-from-yc/ https://blog.ycombinator.com/updates-from-yc/ And TechCrunch had a source last Friday as well that said Altman intended to become CEO of OpenAI: https://techcrunch.com/2019/03/09/did-sam-altman-make-yc-better-or-worse/ https://techcrunch.com/2019/03/09/did-sam-altman-make-yc-bet...
