I know I won't get a lot of love for this, but Sam is a really good person. I don't know him well, but I've known him since long before OpenAI.

He's not perfect, but behind the scenes he's a genuine and upstanding person. I've met lots of wealthy smart people, and he's the only exception. He was the only person I trusted in this situation, and I'm genuinely nervous that he's no longer running OpenAI.

Update: Greg Brockman is also out, which makes me think it's more than just a Sam scandal.

The statement claims he is no longer board chair but will stay with the company. Do you have other info?

They're clearly related. He went from Chairman to "reporting to the CEO", meaning he either stepped down in protest or was also fired.

He won't be there in 6 months; this is just a crumb of continuity.
