      Or, they finally realised what a ridiculous dullard Sam Altman is. All hype, no substance.

      Maximize what revenue? This was the non-profit board that oversees the 501c3 part of the somewhat complex organization. They don’t have any equity in the business components of the organization.

        So theoretically the non-profit board had a disagreement with Sam’s desire to push for higher profits in the for-profit subsidiary. Hence, the disagreement over how to maximise revenue.

        I didn’t actually know that when I fired that off but not for profits do care about revenue and expenditure.
