#42Remaining curious how D’Angelo has escaped scrutiny over his apparent conflict of interests and as the “independent” board member with a clear commercial board background.
What is the conflict here? I do not know much about him but If he actually oversaw building Quora product he must be a POS guy.

#43This whole fiasco has enough drama than an entire season of HBO Silicon Valley. Truly remarkable.

#44It seems the next step, is the board to sign the letter calling for the board resignation. The insanity will be complete, and all can get back to therapy.
and then the board will fire Satya Nadella from Microsoft CEO

Ilya has signed the petition, so that's two out of three left.

#47I am getting whiplash trying to keep up with this.

#48So, is the pressure of 700/770 employees enough to crack the board? What a wild timeline.
Either it is or no number is. Would 769/770 be markedly different than 700/770?

#49>we are all going to work together some way or other, and i’m so excited. I think this means Sam is pushing for OpenAI to be acquired by Microsoft officially now, instead of just unofficially poaching everyone.
Is it even possible for that to happen? The entity that governs OpenAI is a registered charity with a well defined purpose, it would seem odd for it to be able to just say "Actually, screw our mission let's just sell everything valuable to this for-profit company". A big part of being a 501(c)(3) is being tax exempt, difficult to see the IRS being ok with this. Even if they were the anti-trust implications are huge, difficult to see MS getting this closed without significant risk of anti-trust enforcement.

#50I will be very sad if there isn’t a documentary someday explaining what in the world happened. I’m not convinced even people smack in the middle of this even know what’s going on.
