Well why was sam altman fired. it was never revealed.

CEOs get fired all the time and company puts out a statement.

I've never seen "we won't tell you why we fired our CEO" anywhere.

now he is back making totally ridiculous statments like 'AI is going to solve all of physics' or that 'AI is going to clone my brain by 2027'

This is a strange company.



> This is a strange company.

Because the old guard wanted it to remain a cliquey non-profit filled to the brim with EA, AI Alignment, and OpenPhilanthropy types, but the current OpenAI is now an enterprise company.

This is just Sam Altman cleaning house after the attempted corporate coup a year ago.


When the board fires the CEO and the CEO reverses the decision, that is the coup.

The board’s only reason to exist is effectively to fire the CEO.


I think thats some rumors that they spread to make this look like a "conflict of philosophy" type bs.

There are some juicy rumors about what actually happened too. much more belivable lol .
