TL;DR Summary

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman revealed that he was "super caught off guard" when he was pushed out by the board, reflecting on the dramatic turn of events that led to his ouster and subsequent re-instatement in November. The unusual corporate structure of OpenAI, where the board holds significant power and Altman has no equity, played a key role in his surprise ouster. Concerns over AI safety and OpenAI's role in protecting it were at the center of Altman's brief ouster. Despite the turmoil, Altman emphasized the commitment of his team and investors to the company's mission, and stated that OpenAI will not become a traditional for-profit company, but may consider reforming its structure in the future.
