Sam Altman appears to have been pushed out
Wow, just wow:
"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”
I will never again have the right to judge people I know for reading and following celebrity gossip. My fascination and curiosity as to what happened here is hard to overstate and probably not healthy.
My guess: Last week he announced that OpenAI would indemnify its customers against intellectual property lawsuits which looked rather, erm, punchy to me. Basically created an unlimited and uncapped liability for the organisation in an area where the legal situation is wide open right now. I'm sure we will find out soon enough as this was very public so must be serious.
