Today’s lesson, keep multiple board seats None of the tech giants would be where they are today if they didn't ram through unique versions of control Their boards or shareholders would have ousted every FAANG CEO at less palatable parts of the journey

#795- Cant be a personal scandal, press release would be worded much more differently - Board is mostly independent and those independent dont have equity - They talk about not being candid - this is legalese for “lying” The only major thing that could warrant something like this is Sam going behind the boards back to make a decision (or make progress on a decision) that is misaligned with the Charter. Thats the only fir…
On lying: There's a great irony here. Altman apparently accepted[1] "Hawking Fellowship Award on behalf of OpenAI" at the University of Cambridge.

It is a personal scandal and I thought it was obvious from the press release. Prior to the Reddit comments, I thought this might be the case, but perhaps I was somehow influenced. Actually, I thought it would be something inappropriate in the workplace. His sister says he molested her when he was a teenager. The way these things break, I’m not surprised it went down that way. Here’s what I thought reading the release…
