The thing about the "celebrity CEO" cult that has taken over the Valley-- and is in full force at OpenAI-- is that people like the parent have completely forgotten that the way it's supposed to work is that the CEO serves at the discretion of the board of directors. The board is not some speedbump or hassle to be maneuvered around, they choose the CEO and can revoke their choice.

Not that that's actually ever going to be the case at OpenAI again, but the parent has the chain of command here totally bass-ackwards.

> CEO is an instrument of the board. The CEO is not there to lead the board.

In truth it's both. That said, leadership doesn't mean lying. Particularly not about what another person has said. Very particularly not when it's trivial for them to compare notes.
