A young tech professional, Omer Oztok, recently made headlines by applying for the CEO position at OpenAI with an unconventional job application. Oztok, a co-founder of Sondra, sent a well-crafted application to OpenAI's senior management, outlining a series of radical changes he would implement if appointed [1].Among his most notable proposals were replacing the entire executive team, excluding himself, with ChatGPT agents and poaching the entire AI team from rival tech giant Meta. Oztok also suggested training the next-generation model, GPT-6, exclusively on his personal social media posts and acquiring Google for the company's name. Despite being rejected, Oztok expressed confidence in his future success and determination to challenge conventions [1].
OpenAI's response acknowledged Oztok's "unmatched" enthusiasm but raised serious concerns about his proposals. The company's letter stated that his idea of a ChatGPT-led C-suite was "apocalyptic" and that his other suggestions were flagged as "disruptive" by the legal department. The letter concluded with a witty end, noting that OpenAI had chosen a more "traditional candidate" [1].
Oztok posted the rejection with pride, stating, "That’s alright. One day, I’ll overtake OpenAI. Just watch." His bold application and subsequent rejection have been featured in the tech community, drawing attention to his determination and willingness to challenge conventional thinking [1].
