    Breaking News Sam Altman seems set to return to the job as CEO of OpenAI – from which he was last week suddenly and unexpectedly ejected.

    The existence of a “new board” suggests some who voted for Altman’s ouster have themselves been ousted.

    That suggests Microsoft is aware of OpenAI’s actions – as it should be, given it owns 49 percent of the joint – and isn’t fussed that he never took up the job as boss of a new AI lab within the software giant that he arranged after his sudden dismissal.

    The restoration of Altman appears to be a win for OpenAI’s staff, who reportedly threatened to quit if he was not returned to his gig.

    And as OpenAI’s post makes clear, there are still details to be figured out.

    • We’ve reproduced Altman’s Xeet verbatim, including his errant capitalizations.
