Re: Emmett Shear threatens to resign unless the board explains why Altman was fired
#2If they say anything other than "he gave two people at OpenAI the same project and he gave two board members different opinions about a member of personnel" then they're admitting they lied 24 hours ago. If they double down on that explanation after being openly challenged by the CEO then the whole world will know they're lying now.

#3I've been consistently on the side of OpenAI's board since this started, to give them the benefit of the doubt as is reasonable to do in a time of turmoil, especially since we're just hearing one side.
But after the news about trying to merge with Anthropic, and then this? Seems like total amateur hour on the boards part.

#5He just accepted the position. He knew the company is in the "hard week's night". How come he's leaving? Is it professional?..

That leaves you to figure which part of the board to give the benefit to. Their website still has:
>OpenAI is governed by the board of the OpenAI Nonprofit, comprised of OpenAI Global, LLC employees Greg Brockman (Chairman & President), Ilya Sutskever (Chief Scientist), and Sam Altman (CEO), and non-employees Adam D’Angelo, Tasha McCauley, Helen Toner.
It's now the non-employee board members vs the employee ones.
