To get the story from Bloomberg. 85 00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:30,320 Speaker 8: To Ed Ludlow, sam Altman was speaking with people like 86 00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:34,840 Speaker 8: SoftBank who are desperate to invest in open Ai and Mubadala, 87 00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:38,240 Speaker 8: which is the kind of private investment arm of the 88 00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:42,640 Speaker 8: United Arab Emirates, and my understanding from sources, those two 89 00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:45,680 Speaker 8: firms in particular really wanted to get a piece of 90 00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:49,400 Speaker 8: open Ai. But what sam Altman said was, well, you know, 91 00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:51,440 Speaker 8: now is not kind of the right time for you 92 00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:54,200 Speaker 8: guys to invest or get in, But how about investing 93 00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:56,960 Speaker 8: in this other project that I'm working on. What we 94 00:04:57,000 --> 00:05:00,119 Speaker 8: know about the project is that it hopes to make 95 00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:03,520 Speaker 8: what are cooled tensor processing units or tpused. 96 00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:08,960 Speaker 1: That's Ed Ludlow. He says that data centered chips can 97 00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:13,400 Speaker 1: manage high volume AI workloads. We're told Altman's chip venture 98 00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:16,720 Speaker 1: has not yet been formed and the talks with investors 99 00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:18,800 Speaker 1: while they were in the early stages. 100 00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:22,240 Speaker 2: We're hearing the investment firm Blackstone is now the lead 101 00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:25,400 Speaker 2: bidder for a huge chunk of property loans from the 102 00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:28,600 Speaker 2: failed Signature Bank.

Signature was a big lender to 113 00:06:02,640 --> 00:06:05,880 Speaker 9: New York City landlords, including the owners of rent stabilized 114 00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:08,880 Speaker 9: and rent controlled units, but we're hearing those apartments are 115 00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:12,400 Speaker 9: not part of this possible Blackstone deal.

Bloomberg's Leslie Latto reports. 119 00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:22,640 Speaker 10: The sweeping reorganization could start as soon as Monday. The 120 00:06:22,720 --> 00:06:27,680 Speaker 10: first major wave and chief executive Officer Jane Fraser's overhaul 121 00:06:27,839 --> 00:06:32,400 Speaker 10: to simplify the sprawling lender and shave down five layers 122 00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:35,599 Speaker 10: of management. The company has said the cuts would begin 123 00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:38,440 Speaker 10: by the end of the month and continue through the 124 00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:41,600 Speaker 10: end of the first quarter. They've not said exactly how 125 00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:44,920 Speaker 10: many people would lose their jobs overall, even before the 126 00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:48,680 Speaker 10: News Citygroup had racked up about six hundred and fifty 127 00:06:48,760 --> 00:06:52,440 Speaker 10: million dollars in severance charges as part of cutting seven 128 00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:56,000 Speaker 10: thousand positions in the first nine months of this year. 129 00:06:56,440 --> 00:06:58,919 Speaker 10: Leslie Latto Bloomberg Radio. 130 00:06:58,760 --> 00:07:00,760 Speaker 2: This is going to be the first ants for markets 131 00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:03,800 Speaker 2: in Asia to react to the FED speak from last Friday. 132 00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:08,800 Speaker 2: San Francisco president Mary Daily said policymakers aren't certain inflation 133 00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:12,240 Speaker 2: is on the path toward that two percent target. However, 134 00:07:12,760 --> 00:07:16,360 Speaker 2: Vice Chair for Supervision Michael Barr offered a different take. 135 00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:21,440 Speaker 11: That we're likely at or near the peak of where 136 00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:24,120 Speaker 11: we need to be in terms of having a sufficiently 137 00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:29,480 Speaker 11: restrictive stance of monetary policy that we'll sustainably bring inflation 138 00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:32,400 Speaker 11: down to two percent. And I think the recent economic 139 00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:37,240 Speaker 11: readings reinforce my view that that is probably correct. 140 00:07:37,280 --> 00:07:40,160 Speaker 2: That is FED Vice Chair for Supervision Michael Barr. By 141 00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:42,480 Speaker 2: the way, the market will be looking out for minutes 142 00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:45,600 Speaker 2: from the fed's last meeting, the November meeting, and what 143 00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:48,559 Speaker 2: those minutes say about the path of rates. Those minutes 144 00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:50,840 Speaker 2: are due on Tuesday, right well. 145 00:07:50,880 --> 00:07:54,400 Speaker 1: A critical flaw in software from Citric Systems has been 146 00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:58,480 Speaker 1: exploited by government backed hackers in criminal groups. That's according 147 00:07:58,520 --> 00:08:02,320 Speaker 1: to a US cybersecurity official. Citric said that the flawed 148 00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:06,440 Speaker 1: dubbed the Citrix bleed, was abused by hackers in secret 149 00:08:06,480 --> 00:08:09,320 Speaker 1: for weeks before it was found, and a fix was 150 00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:12,280 Speaker 1: issued last month. We hear the US Treasury has also 151 00:08:12,320 --> 00:08:16,320 Speaker 1: said that it's investigating whether Citrics vulnerabilities are responsible for 152 00:08:16,360 --> 00:08:20,200 Speaker 1: the recent ransom hack against the Industrial and Commercial Bank 153 00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:22,040 Speaker 1: of China ICBC. 154 00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:25,679 Speaker 2: Goud Well, a leading scholar in China, is now calling 155 00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:29,600 Speaker 2: on Beijing to raise the government's deficit spending ratio all 156 00:08:29,640 --> 00:08:33,000 Speaker 2: the way to five percent of GDP. Bloomberg's David and 157 00:08:33,040 --> 00:08:33,560 Speaker 2: Glass says. 158 00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:37,760 Speaker 12: More from Hong Kong, Chinese scholar Jagan Leong says China 159 00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:41,839 Speaker 12: needs to ramp up fiscal spending decisively to support the economy, 160 00:08:42,400 --> 00:08:43,679 Speaker 12: and this is one. 161 00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:44,200 Speaker 2: Way to do it. 162 00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:48,320 Speaker 12: The scholar says raising the government's deficit ratio would compensate 163 00:08:48,360 --> 00:08:52,520 Speaker 12: for insufficient demand and resolve the issue of oversupply. The 164 00:08:52,559 --> 00:08:55,560 Speaker 12: call of five percent is sharply higher than the government's 165 00:08:55,559 --> 00:08:59,440 Speaker 12: traditional target of three percent. The call might not be 166 00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:02,440 Speaker 12: too serp prizing in that Jah is one of China's 167 00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:07,360 Speaker 12: most prominent backers of modern monetary theory. Jazz Advice adds 168 00:09:07,400 --> 00:09:11,079 Speaker 12: to a corrus of economists calling for more fiscal stimulus 169 00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:14,240 Speaker 12: to support the economy in Hong Kong. I'm David Ingless 170 00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:15,439 Speaker 12: Bloomberg Radio. 171 00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:19,439 Speaker 1: And we are just getting ahead a red headline on 172 00:09:19,559 --> 00:09:24,240 Speaker 1: the terminal here about the winner in Argentina.

And now it's time 175 00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:35,440 Speaker 1: to get to one of our top stories of the hour. 176 00:09:35,480 --> 00:09:39,280 Speaker 1: We're hearing that a group of Open a I executives 177 00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:42,240 Speaker 1: and investors have given the board a deadline of five 178 00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:45,680 Speaker 1: pm Pacific time or eight pm Wall Street time to 179 00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:50,400 Speaker 1: reinstate former CEO Sam Altman. Joining us now for some 180 00:09:50,520 --> 00:09:54,520 Speaker 1: clarity on this story is Rachel Metz, Bloomberg AI reporter. Rachel, 181 00:09:54,559 --> 00:09:56,679 Speaker 1: thanks very much, I say clarity. I know there's a 182 00:09:56,720 --> 00:09:59,440 Speaker 1: lot of questions unanswered. A couple right off the bat 183 00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:04,319 Speaker 1: would be why was Sam Altman fired? And secondly, what 184 00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:07,800 Speaker 1: were the conditions? Under what conditions would he be reinstated? 185 00:10:08,400 --> 00:10:11,720 Speaker 13: These are all good questions, and of some of the 186 00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:15,760 Speaker 13: answer is is confusing or it's complicated. So on Friday, 187 00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:22,120 Speaker 13: the board out died Altman, and they they said that 188 00:10:22,120 --> 00:10:25,920 Speaker 13: that there were some reasons for doing so. In fact, 189 00:10:26,040 --> 00:10:29,880 Speaker 13: they said that he was quote not consistently candidates communications 190 00:10:30,200 --> 00:10:33,440 Speaker 13: with the board. Yet it wasn't really clear what that meant. 191 00:10:34,559 --> 00:10:38,120 Speaker 13: And now it sounds like there's an ongoing effort and 192 00:10:38,120 --> 00:10:40,680 Speaker 13: things are changing quickly. But a group of Opening A 193 00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:44,080 Speaker 13: executives and investors are trying to get Altman back into 194 00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:47,040 Speaker 13: that role as CEO. And we're still kind of waiting 195 00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:49,280 Speaker 13: and watching and trying to figure out which way this 196 00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:50,760 Speaker 13: is going to go the next few hours. 197 00:10:51,040 --> 00:10:54,280 Speaker 14: Who are these board members, Rachel and what other interests 198 00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:54,760 Speaker 14: might they have. 199 00:10:56,480 --> 00:11:00,800 Speaker 13: Well, so until Friday, the board consisted of Sam Altman, 200 00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:05,640 Speaker 13: Greg Brockman. Greg Brockman uh was the president of open 201 00:11:05,679 --> 00:11:08,040 Speaker 13: AI and he had been the board chairman and he 202 00:11:08,120 --> 00:11:12,120 Speaker 13: actually he had been demoted from his board spot when 203 00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:15,960 Speaker 13: Altman was ousted and then he subsequently quit. So it 204 00:11:16,040 --> 00:11:19,920 Speaker 13: was Altman, Brockman, Ilias Setskber the all three of them 205 00:11:20,880 --> 00:11:24,560 Speaker 13: Open AI and then three outside board members Adam D'Angelo 206 00:11:24,760 --> 00:11:28,080 Speaker 13: who is the CEO of Cora, Inc. Tash McCauley, who 207 00:11:28,120 --> 00:11:30,559 Speaker 13: is a tech entrepreneur, and Helen Turner, who's the director 208 00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:33,920 Speaker 13: of Strategy at Georgetown Center for Security in Emersion Technology. 209 00:11:35,240 --> 00:11:38,600 Speaker 1: When I first read the line that he was asking 210 00:11:38,679 --> 00:11:42,800 Speaker 1: for board members to be UH to be released, I 211 00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:45,760 Speaker 1: thought it must be some board members, but he wants 212 00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:49,320 Speaker 1: all of them to be UH to lose their seats. 213 00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:54,200 Speaker 13: I mean, it sounds like that's one of the things 214 00:11:54,240 --> 00:11:57,280 Speaker 13: that he wants to see is the removal of the 215 00:11:57,320 --> 00:12:01,800 Speaker 13: assisting board members. As well as what our reporting has 216 00:12:02,960 --> 00:12:07,080 Speaker 13: brought out, it's a statement absolving him of doing anything wrong. 217 00:12:08,040 --> 00:12:14,160 Speaker 13: Open AI leadership has put out memos internally at the 218 00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:17,440 Speaker 13: company saying that the board hasn't said that there was 219 00:12:17,480 --> 00:12:22,160 Speaker 13: any quote, malfeasance or anything like that. So it's not 220 00:12:22,280 --> 00:12:25,960 Speaker 13: totally clear what the board was initially even accusing him 221 00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:27,400 Speaker 13: of doing when it got rid of him. 222 00:12:27,960 --> 00:12:32,319 Speaker 14: Now, Miramrotti, the Chief Strategy officer who became at least 223 00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:36,040 Speaker 14: interim CEO, she also wants him back right as CEO. 224 00:12:38,960 --> 00:12:42,520 Speaker 13: That's what it sounds like. Yees, so they're sorry. 225 00:12:42,480 --> 00:12:43,439 Speaker 9: Well, I was just going to say. 226 00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:45,520 Speaker 14: If that's the case and he does come back as CEO, 227 00:12:45,640 --> 00:12:49,679 Speaker 14: and there's a new board, all of whom he you know, 228 00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:53,800 Speaker 14: supports in terms of members. Does that then create its 229 00:12:53,800 --> 00:12:54,679 Speaker 14: own sort of conflict? 230 00:12:55,920 --> 00:12:58,640 Speaker 13: You mean if he comes comes back and she is 231 00:12:58,720 --> 00:12:59,920 Speaker 13: no longer interim CEO. 232 00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:00,600 Speaker 9: Correct. 233 00:13:00,640 --> 00:13:03,920 Speaker 13: Yeah, I don't know if it does necessarily. I mean, 234 00:13:03,920 --> 00:13:06,800 Speaker 13: I think it's sort of I mean, it probably depends 235 00:13:06,800 --> 00:13:08,960 Speaker 13: on what they work out. But I mean, she was 236 00:13:09,400 --> 00:13:11,600 Speaker 13: already one of the key leaders of the company. She's 237 00:13:11,640 --> 00:13:16,080 Speaker 13: been CTO for a while now there, and she has 238 00:13:16,120 --> 00:13:19,679 Speaker 13: been positioned increasingly as a leader, often even alongside him, 239 00:13:19,760 --> 00:13:23,000 Speaker 13: such as at their development day recently, like earlier this month, 240 00:13:23,760 --> 00:13:26,839 Speaker 13: they co hosted a question me answer session with reporters 241 00:13:27,040 --> 00:13:32,480 Speaker 13: aside from the keynote afterwards. So she's increasingly being brought 242 00:13:32,480 --> 00:13:34,959 Speaker 13: out as leader, and I guess we'd have to wait 243 00:13:34,960 --> 00:13:37,319 Speaker 13: and see what would happen there. But they definitely have 244 00:13:37,400 --> 00:13:39,480 Speaker 13: a history of working and working all together. 245 00:13:39,960 --> 00:13:42,760 Speaker 1: Yeah, we covered a little bit of this earlier. But 246 00:13:42,840 --> 00:13:44,440 Speaker 1: I'm curious if you can tell us a little bit 247 00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:47,920 Speaker 1: more about Tigris this new AI chip, because it seems 248 00:13:47,920 --> 00:13:51,840 Speaker 1: like maybe some movement on this by Altman without perhaps 249 00:13:51,920 --> 00:13:56,400 Speaker 1: the board's knowledge, maybe that was somehow connected with the 250 00:13:56,440 --> 00:13:57,760 Speaker 1: firing on Friday. 251 00:13:58,800 --> 00:14:01,880 Speaker 13: I mean that the board has not said that, but 252 00:14:03,240 --> 00:14:06,080 Speaker 13: we do know that he has been working on some 253 00:14:06,200 --> 00:14:09,040 Speaker 13: other business ventor is one of them being raising funds 254 00:14:09,120 --> 00:14:13,280 Speaker 13: for a chip making startup. As we know, making chips 255 00:14:13,440 --> 00:14:17,640 Speaker 13: is extremely difficult and extremely expensive and extremely time consuming, 256 00:14:18,040 --> 00:14:20,640 Speaker 13: so it takes a lot of money to do that, 257 00:14:20,680 --> 00:14:22,240 Speaker 13: and we'll just have to see what happens with it. 258 00:14:22,920 --> 00:14:26,120 Speaker 1: All right, Thanks so much, Rachel.
