> Sam Altman will depart as CEO and leave the board of directors. Mira Murati, the company’s chief technology officer, will serve as interim CEO, effective immediately.

> Mr. Altman’s departure follows a deliberative review process by the board, which concluded that he was not consistently candid in his communications with the board, hindering its ability to exercise its responsibilities. The board no longer has confidence in his ability to continue leading OpenAI.

Wow

So this is probably indicative of a scandal of some sort right?

Yes, very likely Altman has done something _very_ wrong, and the board wants to maintain plausible deniability.

HN moderators aren't deleting any comments. (We only do that when the author asks us to, and almost never when the comment has replies.)

If you're referring to some other form of moderation that you think is bad or wrong, please supply links so that readers can make their minds up for themselves.

They were flagged, a system where a minority of HN users can moderate away posts they don't like.

Is there any overview which lets us see specifically flagged submissions? I suspect this system has too many false positives to be useful.
