OpenAI reportedly compared CEO Sam Altman's ouster to "The Blip" supervillain moment in the Marvel universe.
  • Some OpenAI employees compared the events around Sam Altman's ousting to "The Blip." 
  • "The Blip" refers to a Marvel moment where Thanos snaps his fingers and erases half of all life.
  • A New York Times report details how employees reacted to the shocking — and short-lived — ouster.

Perhaps Sam Altman is inevitable.
