Official statement is that Altman was not being "candid" with the board. The current best theory I've seen is that Altman is investing in AI hardware startups (he is, in fact) and likely planning on having OpenAI doing business with them. buying them, or merging with them in the future.
Oh, good read. I saw that "candid" comment as well, but didn't think of a possible connection. That makes sense. Thanks
Yeah when I heard this, and after I read the available information, I was like did they walk in on him f****** a dog in his office or something? Like the secrecy around his dismissal is so total. But then all these people he has so much support within the company. Very confusing
You can swear here, no one is going to arrest you.
Haha, My speech to text has a built-in f*** stopper. Which I find funny, gives me a good chuckle
The boards job is to deliver shareholder value. Ergo, it may or may not be something illegal, all ypu can guarantee is that they think that revealing information might lose shareholder value.
The board that fired him was that of the nonprofit, so they don't answer to shareholders.
They don't have shareholders. Open AI is a nonprofit. So the job of the board is literally to do what is best for the organization, I can't see how it could possibly be good for the organisation to fire the CEO and then point right refused to elaborators to the reason.
To be honest the shareholder value on a non-profit is, uh, lackluster.
