The Download: OpenAI's dramatic breakdown, and Meta's transparency library

The past few days have been a fever dream in the AI world. The board of OpenAI, the world's hottest AI company, shocked everyone by firing CEO Sam Altman. The news has sent shockwaves through the industry, particularly because Altman has become generative AI's poster boy over the past year. Hundreds of OpenAI employees have since signed a letter threatening to quit, following in the footsteps of a number of senior workers who chose to resign in support. It's clear that AI's biggest player is in a state of flux.
