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.

>>kristo+qt
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....

Thanks I was just trying to remind the community that these can come in forms unrelated to investment, product vision, profitability or market penetration and that an action like this doesn't say anything necessarily about the company
