The whole sequence of events sounds amateurish and extremely unprofessional!

#23Maybe after Sam Altman and Greg Brockman leave, people will realize how important they are to OpenAI.
Meh, I think Ilya and John Schulman (TRPO, PPO, RLHF) are way more important. There are many others of course
That's just a technical perspective, but when it comes to developing advanced artificial intelligence industries, technology doesn't determine everything.

#24If this was a palace coup based on a disagreement on direction, then OpenAI is done. Microsoft won’t be able to trust the board going forward, and so the money will dry up. Most of the talent will follow Sam/Greg. OpenAI will wither on the vine.
That said, I feel like more is to come out still. The board made serious accusations.

Source: trust me bro, I'm a random reddit user.
It's harder to tell now, but from a timeline of events, that supposed OpenAI insider on Reddit had key details of the 'palace coup' that reputable journalists like Kara Swisher (and now a primary source of Greg Brockman) have largely confirmed. I think the Reddit user is legitimate.
No that's horseshit since it does not constitute a valid legal reason for his removal nor it's inline with their blog post. They would get sued out of their a* if they acted based on this.

#26Caesar stabbed right in the back and the coup had been made clear by their closest founders. Jealously and greed strikes once again, someone was more greedier than the rest. Also why are all the links and sources from Twitter / X? We were told repeatedly it was dead? It seems that this drama suggests that it isn't.
Caesar was a total asshole

#27"more to say about what's next" in Sam's tweet earlier, and now, "greater things are coming" huh, do they already have a plan or is this just generic optimism?
Clearly they will have a new AI startup by Monday.
Plot twist: They hire all the laid off Alexa people and make the world's best voice controlled light switch

I'm sure they can get funding at this point if needed.

Their main value add was Sam's network, which is probably why they were able to raise so much money, close the deal with Microsoft and get a ton of YC companies to sign on early on.
Now that they're so well established and intertwined with Microsoft Sam's personal network is not as important.

#30Ilya just self-immolated the hottest company of the decade with an 80 billion dollar valuation, all to make a point that he thinks AGI is too close and that safety needs to come first before all else. That’s quite the statement!
