Sam Altman and John Elkann at Italian Tech Week 2024

This past week OpenAI Chief Technology Officer Mira Murati resigned from the company. Chief Research Officer Bob McGrew and another research leader, VP of research Barret Zoph, also resigned.
These exits were the latest in a string of recent high-profile departures that also include the resignations of OpenAI co-founder Ilya Sutskever and safety team leader Jan Leike in May.
OpenAI is discussing a new corporate structure, removing its non-profit status and proceeding instead as a for-profit benefit corporation - like rival AI company Anthropic. This would include a massive new funding round at a $150 billion valuation, and a 7% stake to Sam Altman.
How did Sam Altman react to all of this at Italian Tech Week 2024?
