You can hear Microsoft’s billions going up in flames. You literally couldn’t make this stuff up.
I’m glad people in this thread are supporting the OpenAI board in this decision. There seems to be too much celebrity worship around Altman from all the tech/crypto bros. Also, any new competition started by Altman would be good for the ecosystem in general.
I'd have agreed with you if it was an extensive board with many experts, both technical and policy, without any strong conflict of interests. But at this point, we have Ilya who clearly has strong difference of opinions with Sam, Adam D'Angelo, whose company Poe has a conflict of interest with the existance of for profit OpenAI and their GPT store/customizable agents, and two other board members.

Or are they just going to focus on the hardware thing?

I would have been extremely uneasy if Altman had the power to get back as CEO after this kind of ousting but I didn't really support ousting him like that in the first place, especially if this didn't reach a fever pitch over some much more capable model.

This is more bizarre than an episode of silicon valley. Must be the happiest day for Google in the last year.
Indeed, on the Lex Fridman podcast, Musk said it was a very tough recruiting battle for Ilya. Now it looks like they have a shot at getting him back.

Actually this is going to be great for Microsoft. By cutting its other revenue streams OpenAI has lost all of its leverage. So now will shrink to being effectively an external dev team for Bing / Windows.
I feel like the board probably refused the demand that they issue a statement retracting the claims of wrongdoing by Altman.
