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

It’s hard to imagine a more last minute move on the boards part here. Been in tech exec leadership for a long time and this feels like they’re accusing him of cannibalism (in corporate PR speak). No way this didn’t get decided on in the middle of last night. Whatever he did is big and dangerous, or they’re trying to pin it on him.

Agreed. It had to have been something disastrous. No way Sam walked away from OpenAI when the AI revolution is just starting.

Altman's sister's allegations seemed pretty disastrous.

and what pray-tell are those?

Sexual abuse by Sam when she was four years old and he 13.

Develops PCOS (which has seen some association with child abuse) and childhood OCD and depression. Thrown out. Begins working as sex worker for survival. It's a real grim story.

These allegations date back to 2021. If they were credible, I think the board wouldn't have waited two years to take action.

It might have taken two years for some evidence that Altman misrepresented something ti the board during an initial examination of them to come to light, though.

Not that I think it has anything to do with that; I think it more likely has to do with some kind of money issue tied to the LLC, given reports of others impacted, on and off the board.
