> - Hire an independent investigator to dig into the entire process leading up to this point and generate a full report.

This is very interesting. You wouldn't normally hire an investigator to dig into a corporate shitshow. Firing of Sam Altman was a huge mess, but if there was a serious reason to do that (like, frauding the board), and that reason would be backed by investigation report, it'll suddenly make board actions much more justifiable. And it'll put Microsoft into a tough spot, because they hired Altman back without any considerations whatsoever...

It could also just be that there are different stories of the situation that led up to this thing blowing up, and nobody inside OpenAI could be trusted to impartially do fact finding in matching up those narratives.

People confabulate just like AI does. Just because the stories don’t add up doesn’t mean somebody deliberately lied.

it's probably even more prosaic than that. new CEO should not spend his attention on going through days or weeks worth of he-said-she-said. (he will find out who he can work with, who is hostile to him, soon enough - if not he's useless as CEO.)

but of course the question captivates the peanut gallery so there's a certain importance to it. so making this empty promise costs nothing, hence it's there.
