TL;DR ?? in 4 steps:

1.) Sam Altman, OpenAI’s big boss, chilling in Vegas, gets a surprise Google Meet invite from Ilia Sutskever, chief engineer and board member.

2.) Altman joins, expecting the usual tech talk, but bam?—?the whole board’s there, and co-founder Greg Brockman is MIA. That’s when Altman realizes things are seriously off.

3.) Next up, Brockman quits, and the OpenAI world shakes up like never before. Staff freak out, ready to jump ship, and investors are mad. At some point, Microsoft can swoop in to acquire OpenAI.

4.) But here’s the twist: Just four days later, Altman’s back in charge, like he never left. Brockman’s back too. The board? Almost completely overhauled, with new faces coming in, including some big names from Microsoft. Talk about a rollercoaster!

?? TL;DR done.
