OpenAI's board has fired Sam Altman

>>davidb+(OP)
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.

I just posted a link to a Silicon Valley episode on youtube that implies that he fucks a robot, so let's see how that one goes... ;)

Turn that on it’s head - was he standing in the way of a commercial sale or agreement with Microsoft!

He may not be the villain.

But who knows, it feels like an episode of silicon valley!

I can do anything I want with her - Silicon Valley S5:

>That guy definitely fucks that robot, right?

That "handsy greasy little weirdo" Silicon Valley character Ariel and his robot Fiona were obviously based on Ben Goertzel and Sophia, not Sam Altman, though.

>The character of Ariel in the current episode instantly reminded me of Ben Goertzel, whom i stumbled upon couple of years ago, but did not really paid close attention to his progress. One search later:

I'm sorry, I'm having trouble parsing your intentions here.

I was commenting on reasons for dismissal generally and not trying to impune this particular guy's character

Swift dismissals are likely motivated more by transgressions than performance but that's where the facts stop for me
