    “based on today’s news, I quit.”

    So,

    • maybe Sam was fired for being so dishonest about finances that even the tech money guys got sketched out,
    • or maybe he was fired for some stuff he did to his sister??

    If it’s the first one, I can understand Brockman noping out when he, too, saw the real financial books.

    If it’s the second one that turns out to be true, well, let’s just say it’s a real bad reason to quit in solidarity

    This is the best summary I could come up with:

    Brockman’s sudden departure adds to the day’s uncertainties at OpenAI, following closely on the heels of its maiden developer conference led by Altman.

    We’ve ben through tough & great times together, accomplishing so much despite all the reasons it should have been impossible,” wrote Brockman in a message to OpenAI team.

    Earlier on Friday, OpenAI said Altman had left the firm after losing the confidence of the board.

    The announcement comes less than two weeks after OpenAI held its maiden developer conference, where Altman shared that ChatGPT had amassed 100 million users.

    “We have a long-term agreement with OpenAI with full access to everything we need to deliver on our innovation agenda and an exciting product roadmap; and remain committed to our partnership, and to Mira and the team.

    Together, we will continue to deliver the meaningful benefits of this technology to the world,” Nadella said in a statement Friday.
