#42There were some sexual allegations popping out against him from his own sister, that he had SUPPOSEDLY abused her when they were kids or something. Again allegations are not proof! But I do wonder if they found anything more tangible on the record...

#48def some sort of scandal. The prodigy Altman is booted after creating potentially the most successful company of all time and replaced by CTO who had no prior ML/AI experience becomes CEO. Wow.
What prior ML/AI experience does Sam have?

#49This seems like a terrible decision by OpenAI. How does this benefit them?
Re: OpenAI's board has fired Sam Altman
#50For a company that's executing so well (at least from an outside perspective), shipping so fast, growing so fast, and so ahead of the curve in arguably the hottest segment of the tech market, at this moment, to do this right now, means this must be REALLY bad.
