This should be higher voted. Seems like an internal power struggle between the more academic types and the commercial minded sides of OpenAI.
I bet Sam goes and founds a company to take on OpenAI…and wins.

The abrupt nature and accusatory tone of the letter makes it sound like more was going on than disagreement. Why not just say, “the board has made the difficult decision to part ways with Altman”?

It is a very big difference to publicly blame your now ex-CEO for basically lying ("not consistently candid") versus just a polite parting message based on personal differences or whatever. To attribute direct blame to Sam like this, something severe must have happened. You only do it like this to your ex-CEO when you are very pissed.
