The Information
What’s the bet that OpenAI’s senior management team undergoes a shake-up before the company goes public? On Sunday, The Information reported that finance chief Sarah Friar has concerns about OpenAI’s readiness to go public and its ability to support its AI server commitments. And on Monday, The New Yorker published a long profile of CEO Sam Altman that reinforced longstanding questions about his trustworthiness. It doesn’t seem likely that these two executives can credibly stand in front of investors together pitching an IPO. Friar seems vulnerable to replacement, given that Altman has frozen her out of some key meetings and demoted her to report to one of his underlings, as our story said. But The New Yorker profile, by reopening questions about Altman’s management style, might suggest the company would be better off if he left.
