> Sam Altman will depart as CEO and leave the board of directors. Mira Murati, the company’s chief technology officer, will serve as interim CEO, effective immediately.

> 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.

Wow

>>jborde+g1
So this is probably indicative of a scandal of some sort right?

>>DylanB+03
Yes, very likely Altman has done something _very_ wrong, and the board wants to maintain plausible deniability.

>>jurgen+R3
We all know what. HN moderators are deleting all related comments.

Edit: dang is right, sorry y’all

> We all know what

Genuinely curious, what is it?

>>parthd+v6
Sexual abuse allegations from his sister.

>>wahnfr+t9
I don’t believe accusations from March about something that allegedly happened when he was 13 would be the cause of any of this.

>>ilikeh+Ob
Other women could have come forward.

>>partia+1g
Altman is gay, FWIW.

>>junon+Oh
If he already abused his sister, him being gay isn't a subject that matters on his preferences on who to prey on.

>>partia+Zn
First, this is an accusation made on OnlyFans. Second, he was 13 at the time. You'd have to connect this accusation to truth, and that truth to his adult life.

So I can't fathom her accusation having anything to do with anything.

They've made it clear that the issue has something to do with statements he has made to the board that ended up not being true. The question is of what those statements may be. Not about his potential childhood errors or his onlyfans "model" sister's claims.

So homosexuality isn't relevant here. But nor is what his sister claims.
