Crazy how a 4 person board staved off pressure from a behemoth like Microsoft

This is not a serious BOD. This is going to the courts, and it couldn't happen any sooner.
How do these decisions even happen? Does the board just say "Hey I know a guy, let me check if they are interested" Surely Emmett must be really capable but still seems a bit of wild card entry
Also if some of the wilder motives behind this shitshow are true then Microsoft will never see GPT-5.

Just like Anthropic spinning off from OpenAI brought some very cool research (particularly liked the functional introspection vs node based stuff), Altman going into his own venture to compete will help diversify the overall space.
And while many seem to be thinking this is going to bode poorly for OpenAI, I think perhaps long term it might be a good thing. Ilya is quite impressive and his having greater influence with Altman gone may result in them exploring more interesting avenues that have long term value which might not have been as prioritized with a focus on maximizing short term rollouts.
While the way the board handled it wasn't great optics, this is probably going to be an overall positive shakeup for AI and LLMs in 2024-2025.
