According to The Information, Altman won't return as CEO of OpenAI. OpenAI co-founder and board director Ilya Sutskever said that Shear will take over as interim CEO. Shear will replace Mira Murati as CEO, who was publicly aligned with Altman. Murati's dismissal comes just hours after she invited Altman to meet with OpenAI executives at the company's San Francisco headquarters on Sunday. Shear who is the co-founder of Twitch and Justin.tv, was Twitch's CEO until March of this year. In 2005, he earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Computer Science from Yale University. Shear joined Y Combinator as a part-time partner in June 2011, where he offers advice to the new <keyword id="6362513" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="startups" source="Orion">startups</keyword> in each batch. He was included on Forbes Magazine's 30 Under 30 list in 2012. In 2005, Shear, along with Justin Kan, launched Kiko Calendar, an online Ajax-based calendar app. They sold the company on eBay as their venture faced challenges, including competition from Google Calendar. The hiring of Shear appears to close the door on Altman's exit after he was fired on Friday when the board said he had not been "consistently candid in his communications." --IANS shs/prw

Who is Emmett Shear, the new interim CEO of OpenAI?

<ul class="summary-list"><li>OpenAI CEO Sam Altman was ousted on Friday, igniting chaos inside the company.</li><li>Amid discussions that the OpenAI board would be remade, Bret Taylor was asked to join.</li></ul>Inside OpenAI, a hunt for new board has taken a turn as one of the key people outraged employees expected to be added is no longer expected to join.Amid <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/timeline-sam-altman-openai-shock-firing-microsoft-switch-2023-11">a chaotic three days that included the sudden ouster</a> of CEO and co-founder Sam Altman, and almost immediate negotiations for his return, there was also talk that the board behind the move would be replaced.The board has succeeded in replacing Altman with a second interim CEO — Emmet Shear, the former Twitch CEO — after the original choice — CTO Mira Murati — <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/openai-workers-threaten-to-quit-over-sam-altman-firing-2023-11">joined a group of hundreds of staffers threatening to quit</a> if all members of the board don't resign and Altman won't return. Yet, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/openai-employees-react-on-social-media-sam-altman-shock-firing-2023-11">in another affront to employees</a>, it seems some expected changes to the board are no longer in the works.Bret Taylor, the former Salesforce executive who was also board chair of Twitter when Elon Musk staged his takeover of that company, was poised to be announced as a new board member as soon as last night, a person familiar with the situation said. Now he is no longer set to join the OpenAI board."People are raging mad and mass quitting is imminent," a person inside the company said.Another person familiar with the company said current board members are still considering additions to their ranks, but now would like to find someone who is of a similar profile to Taylor to join.Taylor did not respond to a request for comment, nor did a representative of OpenAI.Taylor's addition to the board was mentioned as a condition in the <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/openai-workers-threaten-to-quit-over-sam-altman-firing-2023-11">open letter</a> from hundreds of members of OpenAI's staff. The letter told the current board members they <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/altman-openai-nightmare-microsoft-investor-says-2023-11">are prepared to leave the company and join Altman at Microsoft</a>, where he will be leading a new project, if the board does not resign. Greg Brockman, the OpenAI president who quit in solidarity with Altman, was also hired by Microsoft.The company's current board is made up of Adam D'Angelo, CEO of Quora; Tasha McCauley, a tech entrepreneur; Helen Toner, of the Georgetown Center for Security and Emerging Technology; <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/meet-openai-cofounder-ilya-sutskever-supported-regretted-sam-altman-firing-2023-11">and Ilya Setskever, OpenAI's chief scientist.</a> Although Setskever also signed the open letter threatening to leave the company, he is said to still technically be a member of the board. Altman and Brockman were also previously on the board. Are you an OpenAI employee or someone with a tip or insight to share?

OpenAI employees wanted Bret Taylor to join a new board. He's no longer expected to do so, insiders say.

<ul class="summary-list"><li>Earlier this week the new CEO of Twitch, Dan Clancy, took to his own channel for an impromptu performance.</li><li>The former NASA researcher started singing classic songs, including 'Take me Home, Country Roads.'</li></ul>Twitch's new CEO, Daniel Clancy, took over the top job at the company in mid-March following the departure of previous CEO <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/twitch-ceo-steps-down-after-16-years-to-raise-child-2023-3">Emmett Shear.</a>While he's early on in his CEO tenure at Twitch, there is one thing that has stood out about Clancy this week: he's got some music chops.A clip from an impromptu, after-hours Twitch broadcast — Clancy began streaming on <a href="https://twitchtracker.com/djclancy/streams/42179626011" target="_blank" rel="noopener">May 10 at 7 PM PT</a>, with a keyboard and microphone at his disposal — has gone viral, showing <a href="https://twitter.com/Dexerto/status/1656612737592483845?s=20" target="_blank" rel="noopener">the former NASA researcher singing "Take Me Home, Country Roads."</a> The video has since amassing close to 5 million views on Twitter alone. While the entire livestream is not available to view, Clancy did pin a few clips from the stream to his official channel, <a href="https://www.twitch.tv/djclancy" target="_blank" rel="noopener">DJClancy.</a> In the beginning of his broadcast the CEO fielded questions from participants, before getting into a musical performance at around 10:17 PM PT, per <a href="https://twitchtracker.com/djclancy/streams/42179626011" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Twitchtracker</a>."Welcome, welcome to the raiders," Clancy says in one clip that is appended to his channel. He was presumably referencing an influx of viewers, as "raiding," on the platform refers to a scenario when one streamer redirects their live audience to another live streamer's broadcast.At its peak, the Twitch stream had 157 concurrent viewers, dropping down to 132 when he began singing songs — during Clancy's John Denver impression, the stream had fallen to 70 viewers.In the bottom left-hand corner of the stream, a box display shows that "Take Me Home, Country Roads," was requested from a Twitch user named "idothingssometines," as Clancy was fielding song requests at the time. The clip itself is brief, lasting only 30 seconds, but it managed to garner a reaction online."Say what you will about Twitch, this guy is already 100x better than Emmet Shear," <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/LivestreamFail/comments/13eahwf/twitch_ceo_on_the_mic_singing_country_roads/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said one Redditor</a>. "Thought that was <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/virgin-orbit-bankruptcy-richard-branson-rocket-firm-files-2023-4">Richard Branson</a> for a second," said another, commenting on Clancy's long hair.Twitter users made jokes about Twitch's copyright rules — <a href="https://twitter.com/TwitchSupport/status/1270875683787624449?s=20" target="_blank" rel="noopener">in 2020</a> the Amazon-owned company began scanning clips and removing them if they contained copyrighted material. "*Twitch's CEO has been banned due to copyright infringement*," one user joked <a href="https://twitter.com/operagxofficial/status/1656613551845302272?s=20" target="_blank" rel="noopener">in a reply</a> to the now viral video. "DMCA strike incoming," <a href="https://twitter.com/GamerAdvantage/status/1656613845119500289?s=20" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reads another</a>. Twitch was acquired by Amazon in 2014 and after Shear's departure on March 16 of this year, Clancy stepped in as CEO <a href="https://blog.twitch.tv/en/2023/03/16/16-years-of-twitch/?utm_referrer=https://t.co/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">the same day</a>. Clancy was a researcher at NASA in the late 90s before managing the computational sciences division and then moving into a director role, overseeing information sciences as well as the technology directorate. He would later join Google in 2005 and led the company's book search project. More recently, Clancy was the vice president of product and engineering at Nextdoor and joined Twitch in 2019 as the president of Twitch Interactive. In April, following a round of Amazon layoffs, Clancy expressed his <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/email-shows-twitch-ceo-disappointed-by-handling-of-amazon-layoffs-2023-4">discontent over the decision</a>, citing that he was "disappointed," to make the announcement before being able to let each affected employee know individually.
