Sam Altman returns as OpenAI CEO; social media goes berserk with memes

The OpenAI saga took a new turn Wednesday after ousted CEO Sam Altman posted on X (formerly Twitter) that, “I’m looking forward to returning to openai.”

OpenAI also confirmed this by posting on X, “We have reached an agreement in principle for Sam Altman to return to OpenAI as CEO with a new initial board of Bret Taylor (Chair), Larry Summers, and Adam D’Angelo.”

It can be mentioned here that OpenAI November 17 published a blog announcing the executive shake-up and removal of Altman as CEO. Later that day, Altman wrote on X about the same.

Altman November 20 announced that he joined Microsoft to lead a new AI research team. Then surprisingly, OpenAI November 22 announced the agreement in principle for Sam Altman to return to OpenAI as CEO.

However, people have been quite happy over the AI poster boy’s return to the company that made revolutionary products such as ChatGPT and Dall-E2. Netizens have flooded the internet with memes about the OpenAI drama. Check some of the funniest memes we have sorted about the OpenAI saga.
