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.

this can’t be good. even under the actual founding dude, GPT seemed to get knocked on the head every few months in quality. letting The Board exercise their precious estimable authority means pig-headed austerity and cost cutting 100% of the time. it was a hell of a technology.
It’s not an equity board. It’s the original non-profit board.
There’s zero reason they would be choosing to focus on profits over progress.
In fact, one of the theories I think is more credible is their loss of faith was in Altman being too closed and profit oriented as opposed to open and research oriented.
