In recent news, Sam Altman, the Chief Executive of the multi-billion artificial intelligence startup OpenAI, was forced out of his role due to unsatisfactory insight with the board. Although the exact reason for his departure remains unknown, decentralized prediction platform Polymarket opened up its prediction markets for traders to bet on the outcome of Altman's current situation. The prediction market reflects bets such as if Altman would be back as CEO by the end of the year, if he will be criminally charged by a certain date, or if he will announce a new company, and so on. The market already so far holds a liquidity of more than $250,000 spread across eight prediction contracts. At the same time, AI-themed tokens also rally due to this event. It remains to be seen how this drama will unfold, and what role will Altman take in the near future.
