#12I’m not surprised with what happened with Sam Altmans ousting. He missed the king. I’m surprised he lasted this long.
Great, now I have that whistling stuck in my head again.
Thanks for the reminder though, been a while since I've thought of The Wire :)

#14Altman's tweet ( https://x.com/sama/status/1790518031640347056?s=46 ) makes it seem as if he wanted to stay, and Ilya disagreed and "chose" to depart. Very interesting framing.
Since it's all in proper casing I'm going to assume he wrote it with chatgpt.

I wonder if that's true at a certain stage of OpenAI, which because of the product bootstrapping skills of Sam and co, has made his role irrelevant?
I mean, Jakub can take it forward at the current scale and leadership team of Sam and other people, but maybe he could not have earlier, which is where Ilya shone?

PR statement. After nearly being ousted, I'm sure Sam is relieved to have a thorn removed from his side.

#18seemed inevitable after that ouster attempt, probably just working out the details of the exit. But the day after their new features release announcement?
