The board of directors trying to get Altman back after firing him effective immediately, failing, and giving the job to their second choice underscores the level of incompetence and lack of professionalism at OpenAI. They seem to be in a bit over their heads with a company that is supposedly worth 80bln dollars. Not with that board it's worth that much.

Like skywhopper (see sibling comment below), I think that the news coverage of the situation was probably heavily biased by parties favorable to Altman who wanted to influence the negotiation. There is no evidence that the board tried to get Sam back. I suspect that the true extent of discussion on this topic was probably limited to the attempt to hire sam back by Mira Murati, who is not on the board.
