#12Oh well, Sam's always got his creepy crypto eye thing to fallback on.

#13>Mr. Altman’s departure follows a deliberative review process by the board, which concluded that he was not consistently candid in his communications with the board, hindering its ability to exercise its responsibilities. The board no longer has confidence in his ability to continue leading OpenAI.
Strangest thing in company's PR when they're thriving!

#14Wow. I wonder what "really" happened.
If they threw him out this suddenly, I think we're going to find out.

#15Who were on OpenAI's board? "OpenAI is governed by the board of the OpenAI Nonprofit, comprised of OpenAI Global, LLC employees Greg Brockman (Chairman & President), Ilya Sutskever (Chief Scientist), and Sam Altman (CEO), and non-employees Adam D’Angelo, Tasha McCauley, Helen Toner."

Which is notable because Sam Altman is on said board, so he got outvoted.

#16WOW! Clearly some funny business going on at OpenAI, as people have speculated. I always assumed Sam Altman was too smart to be in a situation like this. I have heard grumblings about suspicious corporate structuring, behind the scenes profit taking, etc. All speculation though.
The All In podcast had some words about this a few months ago, though they spoke in generalities.

#17Well, this has me concerned. There were times when it felt like OpenAI at large was trying to swim one way, while Sam was trying to swim another. In those cases I always thought Sam's direction was the better one. From the outside this seems like a pretty big loss.

There's a nonzero probability that Worldcoin's shenanigans are correlated.

Ouch -- were there any signs this was coming?
Re: OpenAI's board has fired Sam Altman
#20Well that was unexpected. To be fair, I got weird vibes from Sam when leading the keynote speech during the OpenAI devday, he seemed extremely nervous to me.
