I found the lack of information of the CTO and certain board members disturbing. Like, who is Mira Murati? We only now that she came from Albania (one of the poorest countries) and somehow got into some pretty good private schools, and then to pretty good companies. Who are her parents? What kind of connections does she pull?
Neither @sama nor @gdb are known to communicate in all lowercase. That fact that both did today must mean something.
Ok what’s with the weird punctuation and lack of capital letters in their tweets? Both seem like they are horribly rushed and no auto complete?
it’s a causal writing style that has become popular online in the last decade or so. don’t overthink it

OpenAI exists both as a nonprofit and, for several years now, as a for-profit company [1] that has taken billions of dollars in investment. It needs to make billions of dollars to return to investors just as much as any other for-profit company does. [1] https://openai.com/blog/openai-lp
The non profit is the majority owner of the for profit, and there is no investor pressure here to make billions.

I think that if there were a lack of truth to him being less-than-candid with the board, they would have left that part out. You don’t basically say that an employee (particularly a c-suiter with lots of money for lawyers) lied unless you think that you could reasonably defend that statement in court. Otherwise, it’s defamation.
I’m not saying there is lack of truth. I’m saying that’s not the real reason. It could be there’s a scandal to be found, but my guess is the hostility from OpenAI is just preemptive. There’s really no nice way to tell someone to fuck off from the biggest thing. Ever.
Edit: I called it https://twitter.com/karaswisher/status/1725682088639119857 nothing to do with dishonesty. That’s just the official reason. ———- I haven’t heard anyone commenting about this, but the two main figures here-consider: This MUST come down to a disagreement between Altman and Sutskever. Also interesting that Sutskever tweeted a month and a half ago https://twitter.com/ilyasut/status/1707752576077176907 Th…

Edit: Ok seems to be a joke account. I guess I’m getting old.

Why is the fact that she is unknown disturbing?
It is more like someone from one of the poorest countries in EU going straight to pretty good private schools and pretty good companies weird. Not going to say it's impossible, but she is doing so good but left so few footprints on the Internet. Again just my personal early night conspiracy drink. Don't take it seriously.

what a fucking ridiculous statement - sam altman is just a YC VC machine man, and I'm sure openai can find another CTO in the hottest ML market in history.
We just don’t know enough yet. Sam could’ve been let go over a disagreement about direction. Or he could’ve been cooking the books. Or he could’ve been concealing the true operating costs. Or subscriber numbers. Some of those things just require a change in leadership. Others are existential risks to OpenAI.
