> Sam Altman will depart as CEO and leave the board of directors. Mira Murati, the company’s chief technology officer, will serve as interim CEO, effective immediately.

> Mr. Altman’s departure follows a deliberative review process by the board, which concluded that he was not consistently candid in his communications with the board, hindering its ability to exercise its responsibilities. The board no longer has confidence in his ability to continue leading OpenAI.

Wow

So this is probably indicative of a scandal of some sort right?

>>DylanB+03
Yes, very likely Altman has done something _very_ wrong, and the board wants to maintain plausible deniability.

is always about money, even immoral behavior falls down to potential economic impact.

my 2 cents that he lied about profitability, they should be expending massive money in operations, they need to cut cost to deliver an attractive business model for their service and from a shinny startup star boss that'd had to be a straight f.u.

Either that or he refused to do something that would bring a quick money grab. 50/50 as far as I'm concerned.
