I'm expecting lawsuits in the next day or two from Altman for libel and defamation. I'd be surprised if OpenAI investors don't go to the courts also ASAP.

Surely, not being on the board you cannot just assume that you know all there is to simply assume that there is only one side to a story? Just because they aren't tweeting a storm does not mean they don't have reasons...

>>voidfu+(OP)
Altman has no case. Board protects their legal responsibilities of non-profit company. Same goes for investors.

>>voidfu+(OP)
The board said he was fired for being insufficiently candid with them. Good luck getting a US court to call that defamation.

>>voidfu+(OP)
You mean Sam will be suing all the HN and twitter commenters who called him a sister rapist? Remember, the board never said anything like that.

>>voidfu+(OP)
That's not at all how the law works. No one has been defamed.

>>voidfu+(OP)
If they didn't reinstate Sam, Microsoft already threatened to cut off all future funding from OpenAI, (they've only paid 1 out of 10 tranches so far), then sue them, then help Sam poach OpenAI talent at his next venture.

>>voidfu+(OP)
Can microsoft sue for the drop in valuation of its shares?

>>rrrrrr+o7
What's your source for that?

The Forbes article [1] from yesterday:

> The plan some investors are considering is to make the board consider the situation “untenable through a combination of mass revolt by senior researchers, withheld cloud computing credits from Microsoft, and a potential lawsuit from investors.

Edit: Looks like Microsoft just hired Sam outright: https://twitter.com/satyanadella/status/1726509045803336122
