Good. His money came with no strings*. In fact, if they had run this past him before making their decision, that would have been a breach of their duty as outlined in their charter.

They may have made mistakes with timing (making this decision too late), or with execution (not having a replacement CEO solidly lined-up and in the loop), but the core decision—to remove Sam—is definitely not something they should ask donors about. It's not Satya's business how the board makes decisions at this level.

* Other than a capped profit return if there is any.

Who cares what he thinks, his money is gone and he has no control over it.

In fact the most positive outcome is if Altman and the rest of the staff went to MS and did their thing and OpenAI started from scratch with the $13B they've come into. That would double the chances of something useful emerging from the OpenAI work so far.

I personally think Altman is very much less than a genius (maybe at extracting financial advantage) so all OpenAI's eggs shouldn't be placed in that particular basket.

That's literally not the job of this board.

Why would the board care about that?
