Through all of this, no one has cogently explained why Altman leaving is such a big deal. Why would workers immediately quit their job when he has no other company, and does he even know who these workers are? Are these people that desperate to make a buck (or the prospect of big bucks)? It seems like half of the people working at the non-profit were not actually concerned about the mission but rather just waiting out their turn for big bucks and fame.

What does Altman bring to the table besides raising money from foreign governments and states, apparently? I just do not understand all of this. Like, how does him leaving and getting replaced by another CEO the next week really change anything at the ground level other than distractions from the mission being gone?

And the outpouring of support for someone who was clearly not operating how he marketed himself publicly is strange and disturbing indeed.

A CEO typically builds up a network of his people within the org and if he falls hard they are next on the chopping block. Same deal as with dictators.

"Dozens" sounds like about right amount for a large org.

So having Altman's loyalists leave is probably exactly what Sutskever wants?

Still, what do they actually want? It seems a bit overly dramatic for such an organisation.

This is very short and explains exactly what they want: https://openai.com/charter

I think it's pretty obvious after reading it why people who were really committed to that Charter weren't happy with the direction that Sam was taking the company.
