What I still don't get about all this is if this is just a case of Ilya deciding to play board room Game of Thrones because he has a different vision for OpenAI than Sam and Greg, why throw Sam under the bus with this line in the announcement:

"Mr. Altman’s departure follows a deliberative review process by the board, which concluded that he was not consistently candid in his communications with the board, hindering its ability to exercise its responsibilities."

This really reads like Sam did something wrong and had it coming. But Greg and Sam's statement make it sound like Ilya just wanted to go another direction and got the votes. Why make Sam out to be the bad guy if there was no wrongdoing?

This is why I think there are more shoes to drop still. That language is exceptionally specific and harsh.

This statement makes it sound like they're confused about why Sam was fired, but Sam's original tweet does not convey any hint of that. Compare:

>>Imnimo+(OP)
The joint statement was still intentionally refraining from the details, merely revealing the manner the firing decision was delivered. Ilya & rest of the board had a reason to do this and that reason isn't being disclosed by any involved party yet.

Or the board is not entrenched in typical corporate cultural/lingo and did not know how their language would stand out.
