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).
He’s just posted that he’s quitting on twitter. Didn’t take long lol.
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?
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.
I could be wrong but these days the longest you could go on having no idea is about a week. And that’s if you are really not that engaged. Companies like this run on financial statements.

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
