> So they're conflicted because they're also in governance

I read it as saying that they were conflicted because they're both from the "highly ideological" Open Philanthropy; on a small board, having two people ideologically aligned seems precarious.

It seems to me that on the board of a mission driven charity the whole point is to have everyone on the board ideologically aligned.

Well, I would have thought the reason for having a board with more than one director is to ensure some diversity of opinion.

Not regarding the fundamental mission of the charity.

Ever seen a Catholic hospital with a Satan worshiper on the board?

If the mission of OpenAI and its reason for being created is to make sure AGI is kept in the public trust and not walled off by commercial forces then you’re not going to want people believing the opposite of that.
