By now you've probably all seen the drama at OpenAI unfolding: CEO Sam Altman being fired by the board, attempts to woo him back, attempts by Microsoft to hire him and his staff, who have threatened to quit.

We've summarized the situation here, though as it's a fast-moving, evolving story, anything could happen in the next half hour. We got out vultures together to analyze what this means for OpenAI and Microsoft users, what this means for AI in general, and more.
