Sutskever: "You can call it (a coup), and I can understand why you chose this word, but I disagree with this. This was the board doing its duty to the mission of the nonprofit, which is to make sure that OpenAI builds AGI that benefits all of humanity."

Very unprofessional way to approach this disagreement.

When two people have different ideologies and neither is willing to backdown or compromise, one person must "go".

There’s no indication that any sort of discussion took place. Major stakeholders like Microsoft appear uninformed.

in a power struggle, you have to act quickly

>>strike+R6
I don't think it's that dramatic. In a board meeting, you have to act while the board is meeting. They don't meet every day, and it's a small rigamarole to pull a meeting together, so if you're meeting... vote.

>>fsckbo+M7
are you suggesting they brought up a vote on a whim at a board meeting and acted on it same day

>>vanjaj+z9
no, I was replying to a comment that said it was a power struggle in which the board needed to act quickly before they lost power.

The board may very well have met for this very reason, or perhaps it was at this meeting that the lack of candor was found or discussed, but to hold a board meeting there is overhead, and if the board is already in agreement at the meeting, they vote.

It only seems sudden to outsiders, and that suddenness does not mean a "night of the long knives".
