> Mr. Altman’s departure follows a deliberative review process by the board, which concluded that he was not consistently candid in his communications with the board, hindering its ability to exercise its responsibilities. The board no longer has confidence in his ability to continue leading OpenAI.

Whoa, rarely are these announcements so transparent that they directly say something like this. I’m guessing there was some project or direction Altman wanted to pursue, but he was not being upfront with the board about it and they disagreed with that direction? Or it could just be something very scandalous, who knows.

Maybe Microsoft holds some sway? Sam made a snide tweet at them a few days ago. Running the whole Dev Day demo on Mac's might also be taken as some kind of statement.

The Mac thing would have nothing to do with it. Microsoft's own employees use Macs during demos
