> I will wager $20 Altman is the confidential source and the OpenAI board is spending Sunday with their family getting ready for work next week.

I'm not going to say it's specifically Altman himself that's the source, but it's been pretty clear to me that all of the sources have been from pro-Altman sources, and in many cases seem pretty clearly directed to increase pressure on the board to accept a counteroffer. Adjusting that for bias... I haven't seen any real indication that the board is actually seriously considering these offers.

I'll also note that it raises my eyebrows that there are apparently two consecutive "accept by X or we quit" deadlines that have now apparently blown by... which is a sign of the side currently in the desperately-negotiating position and which one isn't.
