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.

Maybe my experience with corporate communications is different, but all it implies to me is that he was not removed as President and was being permitted to stay on under the new CEO.
