Why did OpenAI’s board go insane a couple of weeks ago and fire and then immediately rehire Sam Altman?

We dive into the leak of Q-Star, the algorithm that is the merging of the A* search algorithm and Q learning. We explore the claim that Q-Star has cracked the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) with groundbreaking mathematical techniques as well as dive into the 21st century physics that is changing our understanding of the universe.
