I think Altman must have worked in the past with lots of ycombinator founders to resolve disputes. Then to end up in his own, completely blind-sided and cut off. Nobody is immune to bad founder relationships.

I don't think he's on his own. All those people he helped in the past have come out to support him via heart emojis. Almost his entire company (minus the board) has publicly supported him. His team is currently hosting him at the office with hopes to reinstate him. The CEO who temporarily replaced him has publicly and privately supported his return. OpenAI's investors are backing him. His cofounder quit in solidarity.

Turns out the secret to getting through something like this is to simply have spent the past 15+ years genuinely helping everyone you've ever come across.

Sure, he may have support from people like yourself. However, it’s possible that many people supporting him know the full story, or may be supporting him for the wrong reasons. For instance, Sam may have been courting outside investment for OpenAI or his own ventures competing with OpenAI without disclosing it to the board. Also, people may be supporting him because of their own interests (consider Microsoft). To say that he has support from people not involved is a bit meaningless right now; and saying he has support from j side OpenAI is devoid of evidence.
