OpenAI president and co-founder, Greg Brockman, announced on the social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter, late Friday that he is quitting his job with the company that developed the popular software, ChatGPT, hours after the company announced the departure of CEO Sam Altman.

Earlier in the day, the board of directors at OpenAI issued a press release announcing Altman's departure because of his lack of communication with the board.
