The details about the Canadian computer scientist’s vested equity in the company were revealed in texts between COO Brad Lightcap, CEO Sam Altman and Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella in November 2023, which have been disclosed as part of Elon Musk’s lawsuit against Altman and OpenAI. At the time, Sutskever was OpenAI’s chief scientist. (The Information)
Talking point: The three executives were discussing OpenAI’s finances because Nadella had offered to hire Altman, president Greg Brockman and any other interested OpenAI employees after the board of the ChatGPT maker fired Altman in mid-November 2023. Sutskever reportedly played a key role in the coup, then recanted and joined other staff in signing an open letter calling for Altman’s return. Sutskever later left to launch his own startup, Safe Superintelligence (SSI). SSI itself fell prey to the huge money swirling around AI when Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg poached co-founder Daniel Gross for his own superintelligence team. Meta has reportedly offered some AI researchers billion-dollar compensation packages.
