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.
That’s wild. Given the abruptness and his profile, I was thinking it must be an improper conduct investigation. But either way, I hope we get more details.
Lol The finally realized that Altman brings more bad press because of his association with crypto and his weird views on things.
I doubt the successor can be a good person but hopefully a less creepy one.
Damn, time for wild thoughts as to why. I wonder who the bad guy is here. Did Sam want to focus on profit? Does the board and they’re hiding behind that? I have no idea.
Still this is a scene right from Silicon Valley, the founder being voted out of their own company
I think it’s more likely that Sam did not want to focus on profit as much as some investors. I presume Microsoft has seats on the board ( I haven’t checked)
Edit - I seem to be wrong: OpenAI’s board of directors consists of OpenAI chief scientist Ilya Sutskever, independent directors Quora CEO Adam D’Angelo, technology entrepreneur Tasha McCauley, and Georgetown Center for Security and Emerging Technology’s Helen Toner." Sam Altman and Greg Brockman(President and Co-founder) both left the board today
Their board is independent and as such do not have equity in the company - Microsoft is not part of this. It’s a very different dynamic.
Based on the language, if I HAD to guess, I’d say he straight up lied to the board or acted on something without them when they were supposed to be involved. Serious charter-violating stuff.
They found out he raped his 4 year old sister and kept doing it well into her teens?
Not claiming it’s true because I literally heard of this five minutes ago, but go fill your boots. The source is his sister.
now he can fully focus on the magic eyeball money
