#3Almost every story we get seems to point in the direction of the board being erratic and incompetent. I feel like either that has to be the obvious truth, or I am being gaslighted by a concerted effort from the other side.

#4This will be a fun book to read after it's all done.
As its happening I had no idea what is going on though. Surely the board can not be this incompetent? Who kicks out a current CEO without having found a replacement or at the very least a shortlist. No evidence has come out that sama did anything egregious against OpenAI. Truly one of the most bizarre sequence of events I have ever witnessed.

I also noticed an unusually high amount of throwaway accounts on OpenAI threads lately. I am not sure whether it's a concerted effort but Altman does seem to have a lot of fans.

#6I’m voting for Dan McCrum, Elliott Brown, Maureen Farrell, Duncan Mavin and Bethany McLean to team up and write the book to end all books about corporate stupidity.

#7The board is desperate. A $90B company turned overnight into a lemon nobody wants, despite having amazing tech and APIs. They need to find a way to keep at least 20% of the employees from leaving, as that will allow them to continue running the services that have paying customers.

What's erratic here? If they are likely to lose most of their employees and resources then merging with the most aligned other company is not only reasonable but exactly what it says they'll do in their charter.

#9Solution: an AI replaces the board.
Can't do much worse.

I believe they had a shortlist, but no one stepped up to take the job.
