"In principle" has me less than 100% assured. Hopefully no more plot twists in this. Everyone, inside and outside, has probably had enough.

Hopefully Sam and Greg get restored to the board also.

The most recent reporting I saw from Bloomberg said sama would return as CEO only.

What a wild ride these past few days have been. Friday already feels like a very long time ago given all of the information and controversy that's come out.

Once again the source is directly from Twitter / X and the news was announced from there.

Dispelling the complete nonsense that the platform is 'dying'.

Looks like Satya will have all of the leverage after this. He kind of always did though, but the board has almost entirely been replaced.

I don’t see any point to the non profit umbrella now.

This ordeal reminds me of the Silicon Valley episode where Richard is replaced by an empty chair, temporarily.

So, Ilya is out of the board, but Adam is still on it. I know this will raise some eyebrows but whatever.

Still though, this isn't something that will just go away with Sam back. OAI will undergo serious changes now that Sam has shown himself to be irreplaceable. Future will tell but in the long terms, I doubt we will see OAI as one of the megacorps like Facebook or Uber. They lost the trust.
