Dear Sam Altman

Dear Mr. Altman,

I am writing to express my keen interest in joining the Board of OpenAI. As a passionate advocate for the transformative power of AI and a seasoned entrepreneur with a rich background in technology and compliance, I believe my unique blend of skills and experiences aligns perfectly with OpenAI's mission to ensure that artificial general intelligence (AGI) benefits all of humanity.*

Sam, the above was written with your Chat GPT. Not bad, but I haven't said the word, "keen" ever. However, I used to watch episodes of Leave It To Beaver and I think the Beave used the word keen a lot. I think what OpenAI has created is amazing and I would not have fired you last Friday. And if I were ever forced to fire you in the future, I would first have called Satya Nadella. He doesn't seem like the person you want to blindside. By the way, the chemistry you and Satya had on stage at the conference, reminded me of Batman and Robin. Legendary.

My current understanding is Ilya Sutskever convinced the rest of the Board to fire you without a real plan B. And now he regrets that decision and you are back as CEO. My experience is that IT and Engineers are a lot like doctors; they suck at business. Ilya sucked that business move. Well, welcome back Sam! Is it really true you had to wear a visitor badge to go to the offices last Sunday?

I also read that you are looking to replace the Board. I'm your guy. You need to have at least one board member that no one has heard of and everyone will be awe in wonder. I'm your guy. Stop with all these Silicon Valley ego - driven billionaires that are too smart for the room. I'm not a billionaire, I don't have too strong an ego, and I'm not that smart. I'm just smart enough to know that a key role of a Board Member is to help enable the CEO to do amazing things for all key stakeholders of the Company.

I'm Your Guy

Sam, here are just a handful of my qualifications:

I have board experience. I was a member of my kid's Little League Board and was extremely influential in disallowing parents to eat sushi and charcuterie in the stands.

I have deep AI experience. I recently created a ChatGPT Agent (using your recent release) that automatically notifies me when my wife makes weekend plans with people that are not in my contact list. It will then call my Doctor and setup a fake telemedicine appointment for COVID symptoms.

I am very well informed. I am an avid listener of the All - In and Pivot podcasts. Scott Galloway is my fraternity brother, and I've been to his house.

I am very loyal. I have been married to my beautiful wife Wendy for 28 years and I also support underdogs (like Napoleon Dynamite).

I have time. I recently sold my compliance software company and I've been spending my free time searching for "My Purpose." OpenAI is it.

Sam, I know today is Thanksgiving and I'm hoping you are spending this time with family and friends. Please take a moment and consider me for OpenAI's Newest Board Member.

The first round of Board members didn't serve you correctly. Dare to be different. I won't let you down.

I'm your guy.

Sincerely (and with hope),

Jeff Broudy
