But it does suggest a possibility of the appearance of a sudden motive:

Open AI implements and releases ChatGPTs (Poe competitor) but fails to tell D’Angelo ahead of time. Microsoft will have access to code (with restrictions, sure) for essentially a duplicate of D’Angelo’s Poe project.

Poe’s ability to fundraise craters. D’Angelo works the less seasoned members of the board to try to scuttle OpenAI and Microsoft’s efforts, banking that among them all he and Poe are relatively immune with access to Claude, Llama, etc.

I think there's more to the Poe story. Sam forced out Reid Hoffman over Inflection AI, [1] so he clearly gave Adam a pass for whatever reason. Maybe Sam credited Adam for inspiring OpenAI's agents?

I think it’s more likely that D’Angelo was there for his link to Meta, while Hoffman was rendered redundant after the big Microsoft deal (which occurred a month or two before he was asked to leave), but that’s just a guess.

I assume their personal relationship played more of a role, given Sam led Quora's Series D round.

And potentially, despite Quora's dark-patterned and degenerating platform, some kind of value in the Quora dataset or the experience of building it?

It literally is a Q&A platform.

Quora data likely made a huge difference in the quality of those GPT responses.

GPT-4 is better than most Quora experts. I hope this was not a critical dataset.
