This is escalating rather quickly. It is an incredibly irresponsible move by the OpenAI board. Hypergrowing company, and now they managed to shake up their user's trust in leadership stability. This has Adam's (D'Angelo) fingerprints all over it (for context, he did overthrow his co-founder, and Quora has been struggling ever since). This guy shouldn't sit on any board ever again.

I predict the board will be fired, and Sam and the team will return and try to contain the situation.

Who fires the board at a 501.3c?

I absolutely guarantee you when Microsoft owns 50% that they paid $50,000,000,000 for, that Microsoft is really in charge.

The board and Ilya will all be gone within a month.

That makes very little sense. Microsoft spent the last week enthusing about the leadership and vision of OpenAI and their strong partnership, even in Nadella’s keynote speech at the Ignite conference. It’s Microsoft’s biggest event of the year. This makes them look pretty stupid, and the announcement came before market closing hours on a Friday, which put in dent in their share price.

However, I would not be surprised if Microsoft take advantage of this unexpected situation for their gain.
