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.

Flagged without a vouch button. Interesting.

Sam Altman was the CEO of Y-Combinator for 8 years. So even saying the field is wide on what could have happened is apparently super-banned.

It's not super-banned; I specifically unkilled it. It just isn't a very good HN comment, because it's inflammatory, speculative, and doesn't contain any information.

Actually I normally would have detached it from the parent, especially because it's part of a top-heavy subthread, but I specifically didn't do that in this case because of the principle described here: https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&qu....
