This was handled so very, very poorly. Frankly it's looking like Microsoft is going to come out of this better than anyone, especially if they end up getting almost 500 new AI staff out of it (staff that already function well as a team).

> In their letter, the OpenAI staff threaten to join Altman at Microsoft. “Microsoft has assured us that there are positions for all OpenAI employees at this new subsidiary should we choose to join," they write.

I think the board needs to come clean on why they fired Sam Altman if they are going to weather this storm.

They might not be able to if the legal department is involved. Both in the case of maybe-pending legal issues, and because even rich people get employment protections that make companies wary about giving reasons.

"Even rich people?" - especially rich people, as they are the ones who can afford to use laws to protect themselves.

I said nothing contrary to this. I'm not sure what your goal is with this comment. If anything is implied in "even rich people," it's contempt for them, so I'm clearly on the pro-making legal protections more accessible side.

Pick a different target and move on.

Using your same rhetoric and attitude: please outline exactly what language I used that was so offensive to you.
