They are utterly delusional if they think they will be board members of OpenAI in the future unless they plan to ride it down the drain and if they do that they are in very, very hot water.
Do they face any real consequences?
Reputation/shame is a real consequence.
Granted, much of the harm is already done, but it can get worse.

Jobs was fired from Apple, and a number of employees followed him to Next. Different, but that's the closest parallel.
Only a very small number of people left with Jobs. Of course, probably mainly because he couldn't necessarily afford to hire more without the backing of a trillion-dollar corporation...
Apple back then was not a trillion dollar corporation.

Given 90%, including leadership, seems a bad career move for remaining people not to sign, even if you agreed with the board's action.
Don't forget some might be on holiday, medical leave, or parental leave.
With Thanksgiving this week that’s a good bet.

#365Wouldn’t this leave Satya in a really bad position? He just announced to much fanfare that Altman was joining MS.

#366An update in the article: > More: New CEO Emmett Shear has so far been unable to get written documentation of the board’s reasons for firing Altman, which also haven’t been shared with investors > Employees responded to his announcement in OpenAI’s Slack with a “fuck you” emoji https://twitter.com/alexeheath/status/1726695001466585231
To me it lends more weight to the "three letter agency agreement + gag order meaning nobody can talk about it" theory

#367Board resigns.
Sam and Greg come back.
Re-hire the board.
Tweet, "It was just a prank, bro."
Wouldn't surprise me at this point.

Imagine if Jobs had gone to M$.
