> I was happily avoiding full time employment. I took this job because I believe that OpenAI is one of the most important companies currently in existence. When the board shared the situation and asked me to take the role, I did not make the decision lightly. Ultimately I felt that I had a duty to help if I could.
An external CEO that's stepping in not because they want to but because they feel they "need" to doesn't sound like a recipe for success.
