>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.

Strangest thing in company's PR when they're thriving!

From the statement it sounds like the board is still committed to running the company in pursuit of the initial non-profit goals and the transition to a for profit status was because of legal limitations. Really surprising to see this.

Unless Altman was taking actions in furtherance of the for-profit goals, while abandoning the non-profit goals, and not being honest to the board about this.

This actually seems the most probable reason for this given the circumstances and phrasing.

OpenAI switching back to being open would be one of the best news of the decade!

I agree, what a great turn for the public if that's how this evolves.
