Did they miss? Legally, the board majority controls both the non profit 501 and the ‘owned’ commercial for profit entity. Those 4 board members only lose if they resign, otherwise there is no way to get rid of them.
I must admit that my opinion/perspective has changed on this issue in the last 35 hours. I believe that when AGI is achieved it can help with serious societal, scientific, and environmental problems, so I am by nature ‘full speed ahead.’
However, I now think that the board performed its legal fiduciary responsibilities and acted correctly. I changed my mind late Friday night after reviewing the 501 charter. It is the board’s obligation to act.
I am also a big fan of Sam Altman and I can’t wait to see what he does next.
