Isn’t it just their rehashing from reading Hacker News followed by interview with Altman from long ago (early last week)?
If it was last week, I’d still read between the lines. All this is news to us, but it wasn’t a secret to them last week.

This interview itself was done last week right, before the drama this weekend? But published today.
But he seems to be addressing the rift when he explains his velocity. Let me put it this way, does this sound like an independent CEO of OpenAi, or does this sound like Sataya Nadella saying “let’s stick this shit in Cortona, Xbox, the windows task bar, fucking everrrything”.
Yeah, sounds like the CEO of a totally different company.
I would not be shocked to see some kinda legal action against Altman for stealing trade secrets going forward.
Neither of these reasons have anything to do with a lofty ideology regarding the safety of AGI or OpenAI’s nonprofit status. Rather it seems they are micromanaging personnel decisions.
Also notice that Ilya Sutskever is presenting the reasons for the firing as just something he was told. This is important, because people were siding with the board under the understanding this firing was led by the head research scientist who is concerned about AGI. But now it looks like the board is represented by D’Angelo, a guy who has his own AI Chatbot company and a bigger conflict of interest with than ever since dev day, when open AI launched highly similar features.
It could be a more primal explanation. I think OpenAi doesn’t want to effectively be a R&D arm of Microsoft. The ChatGPT mobile app is an unpolished and unrefined. There’s little to no product design there, so I totally see how it’s fair criticism to call out premature feature milling (especially when it’s clear it’s for Microsoft).
I’m imagining Sam being Microsoft’s Trojan horse, and that’s just not gonna fly.
If anyone tells me Sam is a master politician, I’d agree without knowing much about him. He’s a Microsoft plant that has support of 90% of the OpenAi team. The two things are conflicts of interest. Masterful.
It’s a pretty fair question to ask a CEO. Do you still believe in OpenAi vision or do you know believe in Microsoft’s vision?
The girl she said not to worry about.
