Sam Altman has been fired as CEO of OpenAI, the company announced on Friday.

“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 company said in its blog post.

    Nah, competent boards want a CEO that will inspire investor confidence and pull in good numbers. Something Altman was doing in an above-and-beyond fashion.
