Jesus. I saw he was "demoted" but he's totally out now, right?

>>robswc+L
Well "out" as in he explicitly quit. He wasn't fired.

>>ryanSr+r1
He was removed as Chairman of the Board but was allowed to remain in his other role as President reporting to the new acting CEO, but apparently wasn't interested.

OTOH, I don't think it would surprise anyone that he would quit, and that may well have been the intent.

That's what I thought.

OpenAI's statement implies he was aware of the demotion... but his statement seems to imply he wasn't.

I guess the most likely situation is that they put out the press release, told him (or vice versa) and it took him a bit to decide to quit.
