Kettle 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, and attempts by Microsoft to hire him and his staff, who have threatened to quit.

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