i do believe what they said about Altman "was not consistently candid in his communications with the board.", based on my understanding, altman did proved his dishonest behavior from he did to openai, turned non-profit into for-profit and open source model to closed-source one. and even worst, people seems totally accepted this type of personality, the danger is not the AI itself, is the AI will be built by AltmanS!

Yes and it's perfectly obvious that he did this without the consent of the board and behind their backs. A bit absurd don't you think? How would that even work?

Why are you so certain most other people on the OpenAI board or their upper management are that different? Or hold very different views?

>>Yes and it's perfectly obvious that he did this without the consent of the board and behind their backs. A bit absurd don't you think? How would that even work? i don't know, i don't have answer for that. but meta open-sourced llama-2, did what openai supposes to do.

at least they have the guts to fire him and let the world know about Altman "was not consistently candid in his communications with the board.".

OpenAI, Inc. Is non profit but it's subsidiary OpenAI Global, LLC. Is for profit.

what is end goal of having a for-profit subsidiary, make opanai more non-profit and make the model more open-source ?

Ideally it is to have greater access to resources by taking investment money and paying for top talent with profit sharing agreements, in order to ultimately further the goals of the nonprofit.

the outcome of this for-profit subsidiary is already showing in real-time, they just want to take everything from openai into for-profit for their own benefit, that is a fraud by definition, which means taking something is not theirs. one good example is Flash mob in LA, yours belongs to me, same culture, same behavior. to your "Ideally world", its very simple, Microsoft could simply just donate $10b to openai, they can share the open-sourced model.
