#13Since https://www.theinformation.com/articles/sam-altman-to-return... is hardwalled, we need to find an alternate source. I've put a stub article up there for the moment. Is there a better one? theinformation.com used to open specific articles for HN readers on request*, but eventually stopped answering our emails. * https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que...
You could use the OpenAI announcement: https://openai.com/blog/review-completed-altman-brockman-to-...

#16>Dr. Sue Desmond-Hellmann, former CEO of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation,
>Nicole Seligman, former EVP and General Counsel at Sony Corporation
> Fidji Simo, CEO and Chair of Instacart.
> Sam Altman, CEO, will rejoin the OpenAI Board of Directors.

#17> The company will also announce the appointment of three new directors, Sue Desmond-Hellmann, a former CEO of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, Nicole Seligman, a former president of Sony Entertainment, and Fidji Simo, CEO of Instacart, the Information said. This selection of directors seems...random? Is there a business reason for these directors? (aside from the obvious YC link with Instacart)
All women, announced on International Women's Day.
The only significant side that's obvious.

#18Isn't it generally kind of weird for the CEO to also sit on the board?

#19If AGI achieved, Microsoft doesn't have the claim on it commercially. Microsoft with 49% stake in the for-profit entity and non-observer seat, what actually protects Microsoft here? First hand information that AGI is reached? Are we not seeing a card in Microsoft's hand here?
