This is the best summary I could come up with:

Sam Altman has been fired as CEO of OpenAI, the company announced on Friday.

Chief technology officer Mira Murati will be the interim CEO, effective immediately.

When contacted by The Verge, OpenAI’s communications department declined to comment beyond the blog post.

This is an extremely sudden turn of events as Altman has largely been the face of OpenAI, which arguably kickstarted the current AI arms race with last year’s hugely popular ChatGPT.

Altman is a co-founder of OpenAI and initially served as a co-chair of the company alongside Elon Musk.

Musk left in 2018 to avoid a conflict of interest with Tesla — he has since founded his own AI company, xAI.

The original article contains 239 words, the summary contains 112 words. Saved 53%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!

This post is unnerving

The bot is using AI and arguably the technology of OpenAI to report on the news that a human has lost their job but has no context on what it is reporting.

Autotldr bot is not using any "AI" for summarizing, just "simple" NLP :)

Won't that still be AI just a subset of it? But I guess you mean OpenAI gpt-3/ 4 here.

Please keep in mind that I am not an expert when it comes to AI/machine learning/Natural Language Processing and have just dabbled in those a few years ago. Also, many of these terms can be confusing because of all the marketing around them.

But, in short, what I meant was that autotldr is not based on a neural network/deep learning, but "basic" language processing algorithms with simpler statistical models attached to them, if at all.

What people generally mean with AI is some kind of deep learning which is helpful for more complicated tasks like "learning" about a topic and "understanding" things, but that is not really necessary for summarizing text since language has (mostly) fixed rules. So while there is certainly some overlap in the process, simple language processing does not need "AI" - you'd call it just machine learning, of which AI is generally a subset.

You can read a little more about the sunmarization above here:

You sound very GPTy.

Probably because he went on his hype campaign trying to ask for regulations, except not ones that actually harm his company, and then the fear mongering.

this can't be good. even under the actual founding dude, GPT seemed to get knocked on the head every few months in quality. letting The Board exercise their precious estimable authority means pig-headed austerity and cost cutting 100% of the time. it was a hell of a technology.
