Saying this is sudden would be an understatement.

Sam Altman spoke at an APEC panel on behalf of OpenAI literally yesterday: https://twitter.com/LondonBreed/status/1725318771454456208

These things can also happen for unrelated reasons. Things like say, getting drunk and molesting an intern or tossing out racial slurs at say, some important person at a giant japanese company, you know, just being an asshole. Especially if it happened more than once.

I don't know the guy but nothing can really be assumed about this.

What? Are you implying this happened here? Or just being weird?

How is that relevant to the specific things the person I was replying to said?

Genuinely: how is it not relevant? Posted quite some time ago sure, but paints an interesting picture and the first I've heard of it

What? Because it has nothing to do with "getting drunk and molesting an intern or tossing out racial slurs at say, some important person at a giant japanese company".

Also I made no claim of anything, just that dismissal can happen for a large variety of reasons. The Arcimoto CEO, for instance, was let go because he couldn't hold his liquor and got a DUI. Brendan Eich got booted from Mozilla for having a political ideology that Mozilla considered a liability.

All kinds of reasons.

The biggest risk for OpenAI is the public perception that the discretion of ChatGPT can not be trusted. If the CEO is caught using poor discretion, the public will transfer that property to the company's products.

For instance, if Tesla could fire Elon Musk, I'm sure they would have by now.
