This all seems so weird, and the list of Board members doesn't make this any easier to understand. Apart from the 3 insiders, there are 3 other board members. 2 of them seem complete no names and might not qualify for any important corporate board. In a for profit shareholders in theory control the board, in a non profit I am not even sure of who really has control over things.

Really wonder what this is all about.

Edit: My bad for not expanding. Noone knows the identity of this "Jimmy Apples" but this is the latest in a series of correct leaks he's made for Open AI for months now. Suffice to say he's in the know somehow.

Jesus. I saw he was "demoted" but he's totally out now, right?

Well "out" as in he explicitly quit. He wasn't fired.

He was removed as Chairman of the Board but was allowed to remain in his other role as President reporting to the new acting CEO, but apparently wasn't interested.

OTOH, I don't think it would surprise anyone that he would quit, and that may well have been the intent.

Is there some weird chic thing where you intentionally don’t use capital letters? What is up with that behaviour? Is it some cute attempt at saying “an AI didn’t write this”?

I was wondering the same thing. Always, on purpose, avoiding starting sentences with capital letters. Both this guy and Sam Altman. What ... why ... ?
