So given that there are 6 board members, Ilya had to have voted to oust Sam?

Presumably Sam recused himself so not necessarily

Why would he recuse himself? Sam seemed happy to work at OpenAI.

FWIW, radio silence from Ilya on twitter https://twitter.com/ilyasut

Usually mandatory for decisions about a board member for them to be recused. That there is an overwhelming potential for conflict between personal interest and the firm’s is pretty clear in that case.

Because it's a conflict of interest - a CEO should absolutely recuse themselves from a vote on whether they should be removed. If a CEO refused to do so, the board should adjourn and reconvene without the CEO present.

>>dnissl+e
Given he was the subject of the vote, he likely wouldn’t even be able to participate.

Do you mean X?
