They’ve fired Sam Altman, this is wild
Very interesting indeed, given that Ilya Sutskever and Greg Brockman are in the board.
Brockman is off the board now too.
Yeah, just realized that. On first read I thought he was just helping with the transition, but this seems more like he’s been kicked off the board too, although is still employed (for now).
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.
Scandal incoming?
While that’s terrible, I doubt it’s what brought him down. This is from 2021 and it would have been easy for Altman to dismiss her as someone as someone who has mental issues, making it up etc. He has the money and backing for it. I suspect there’s way more below what we see here.
It has to be something else that hasn’t been revealed yet.
This isn’t enough for you?
Brockman was also taken off the board so this seems unlikely.
That article doesn’t sound like enough for anything.
Is this the real explanation as to why “AI” is so sexist and racist?
Im pretty sure thars just because people suck
I feel like there must be. And for the board to move this fast it’s probably financial.
It’s serious enough that they immediately cut ties and publicly accuse him of dishonesty, to me that suggests it’s probably something illegal.
I agree, maybe OpenAI has been bleeding money and the board had no idea until now.

Now that is a damning statement. Usually an exec being fired is through sugar coated language like spending time with family, wants a new challenge, took a roll elsewhere, or retiring.
As someone who has to prep docs for the board review meetings, I’m super curious as to what he lied about
They should put their money where their mouth is and replace all leadership with AI
