so what happens if @eshear calls this probably-not-a-bluff, but lets everyone walk? The people that remain get new options and 500 other people still definitely want to work at OAI?

If it comes to that, I reckon Emmett will have his former boss Andy Jassy merge whatever's left of OpenAI into AWS. Unlikely though, as reconciliation seems very much a possibility.

>>andrew+(OP)
It is likely gonna be that way.

Eshear is the new CEO. This implosion is not his fault. His reputation is not destroyed.

He can rebuild the non-profit part, which is hard to determine success or failure anyway. Then, he will leave in a few years.

He doesn't seem to have much to lose by just focusing on rebuilding OpenAI.
