Sam Altman wont return as CEO of OpenAI, despite efforts by the companys executives to bring him back, according to co-founder and board director Ilya Sutskever. After a weekend of negotiations with the board of directors that fired him Friday, as well as with its remaining leaders and top investors, Altman will not return to the startup he co-founded in 2015, Sutskever told staff. Emmett Shear, co-founder of Amazon-owned video streaming site Twitch, will take over as interim CEO, Sutskever said.

Didn't Twitch have a ton of issues that caused people to want to leave, which is the whole reason Kick exists in the first place because the management wasn't listening to the Twitch streamers about basic quality of life changes to the site, and ways for the site to make money without kicking their creators while they are down?

This seems like a ratfuck, plain and simple. OpenAI was going to explode in the next 10 years as the clear industry leader, but someone (or multiple people) got greedy and wanted a bigger slice. But it sounds like over 500 employees are threatening to quit and head to Microsoft to work under Altman unless the board resigns and reinstates him.

No, Kick was made because Twitch cracked down on gambling streams so Stake, who was paying big streamers to do gambling streams went and made their own streaming site with no rules against gambling.
