It appears the reporting was accurate: Ilya staged a coup.

Notably, Sam/Greg do not guess or insinuate why he did a coup.

I find this absolutely baffling to have occurred.

Even more so now than ever, I don't think this corporate structure will survive.

Apparently due to Sam's ego and wanting to use OpenAI to achieve a Musk-like cult status: https://old.reddit.com/r/OpenAI/comments/17xoact/sam_altman_...

... If this was supposed to clear things up, it didn't. I'm even more confused now.

I think we just experienced an all-time moment in corporate politics. It's kind of like Steve Jobs being fired, but if it happened immediately after the Apple II. It feels like OpenAI has already cemented its place in history, whether or not it becomes a titan for the long run.

Maybe after Sam Altman and Greg Brockman leave, people will realize how important they are to OpenAI.
