i'm still not clear what the accusation against Altman was... something about being cavalier about safety? if that was the claim and it has merit, i don't understand why it wasn't right to oust him, and why the employees are clamoring for him back

Not the "money people", but the extremely bad way they removed Altman, I think. It made it easy to sway employees to Altman's favor and pressure the board. If the employees were not cohesive on Altman's side, he probably wouldn't be back...
Do we know the real reason they tried kicking him out yet?
I don't buy the Q* talk.

As he should, in his public communication. Talking bad about anyone would only reflect poorly on Sam. In private, I can only assume he’s a lot less diplomatic.
He doesn't look like the guy into revenge. He seems extremely goal focused and motivated. The kind of person that'd put this behind him very fast to save energy for what matters.
How do you know this?
Idk why this is the comment that broke the camel's back for me, but all over this site people have been making character determinations about people from a million miles away through the filter of their public personas.

If you don't like the way HN works that's fine but I don't think you should be making further statements here until you've had a look at the guidelines.

If you’re concerned about the data security of OpenAI there’s always the OpenAI products served from Azure. At $DAYJOB we are working various AI features and it was a lot easier to get Azure through our InfoSec process than OpenAI.
Don’t those just go through OpenAI anyway?
