I imagine this is about financial chicanery or sex pesting but the funniest outcome would be if they just replaced him with ChatGPT to save money. If there’s any job a chatbot can do today, it’s CEO.
financial chicanery
I’m sure he’s failing to find further funding in the current interest rate market and their business model frankly has no profitability end in sight. Running all those computing resources for free is a road to ruin.
Not to mention be sued by everyone whose copyrighted work was used.
That was my guess. I can imagine a situation where he was deliberately understating or obfuscating how vulnerable they were in that regard, or else simply overconfident they were legally in the clear.
It actually seems to be the opposite - Altman focussing on commercialization, whereas the board wants to continue the non-commercial focus.
I really hope this is the case.

Hahahahahahahaha… A board more interested in non-profit work vs making more money? Sorry, I think this is way over optimistic.
It’s a non-profit board; the members do not hold equity and the for-profit subsidiary has a profit allocation cap. It is not the same as a for-profit board.
Maybe there is hope and closedAI can become open ai again?
This is a turning point that could be either really good or bad, depending on who you ask. Senior developers also left due to the news.
The reasons are probably fairly boring but it’d be kinda funny if they hit AGI and now everyone is in freakout mode behind the scenes.

AI has been replacing the board members and now has control of the company
The evitable conflict looms
Guess he wasn’t open after all.
Isn’t this this the plot of Silicon Valley?

Chat GPT would’ve given him a heads up if he asked…
Didn’t everyone leave the company? I was reading that also the head of research is gone
All of the senior positions are now listed as Clippy. I have a bad feeling about this…
I see you’re trying to govern the human race. Would you like help with that?
