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.

    Makes me wonder if he wanted to put ethical guardrails on the product that would’ve been less profitable for the board.

      It’s the non-profit board, not an investor board. None of the members have equity in the company.
