Didn’t OpenAI close signups for plus a couple of days ago? Could they be connected in some way?

#262According to Jimmy Apples(mysterious twitter account who tweets insider stuff about OpenAI) there’s been a vibe change at openai and there was a risk of losing some key ride or die openai employees. I am wondering what was this vibe change about?
Ilya Sutskever did an ominous and weird youtube for Guardian recently about the dangers of AI. Maybe it has something to do with it?

It was just posted but was filmed on November 1st.

#265Didn't OpenAI close new ChatGPT Plus signups just 2 days ago? Strange coincidence in timing... Maybe the board just learned that costs were wildly over what Sam told them? I guess we'll find out...

#266I would translate "not consistently candid with the board" as "he lied to the board about something important enough to fire him on the spot". This seems like the kind of statement lawyers would advise you to not make publicly unless you have proof, and it seems unusual compared to most statements of that kind that are intentionally devoid of any information or blame.

I wonder if it has something to do with recent downtime?
