If you look at who is on the board, how it's structured (they don't have equity right?), it seems like it's actually because he violated the charter. Why would Ilya Sutskever punish Sam for doing the right thing wrt AI safety?
They had an open ethos and then went quasi closed for profit and then a behemoth has betted the family jewels on their products.
Harking on about the dangers of those products does not help the share price!
My money is on a power play at the top tables.
Embrace, extend, and exterminate.
Playbook!
Either a position in Microsoft or a new start-up.
Or both.
What does it mean for OpenAI though? That’s a limb sawn off for sure.
Edit: It occurs to me that possibly only the independent directors were permitted to vote on this. It's also possible Ilya recused himself, although the consequences of that would be obvious. Unfortunately I can't find the governing documents of OpenAI, Inc. anywhere to assess what is required.
someone hire some PIs so we can get a clear and full picture, please & thank you
