Sounds like a hostile takeover to me. Waiting to hear Sam's side of the story.

Exactly what I was thinking but per another HN comment, the board doesn't have any share in the company. It's still very fishy

Would be really interesting if Microsoft wanted to acquire the whole thing and Sam stood in the way.

Perhaps something to do with the agreement that Microsoft only gets access to the pre-AGI AI and MS wanted the good stuff?

Military contract or sharing raw data with CIA, Palantir, Mossad, etc. would explain why they intervened (and why Sam and Greg couldn’t be candid: gag order).

I probably should retract all those, but I want to argue that the board claiming "not candid" was (as of what we know now) entirely off.
