Honestly, I just don't believe that she didn't talk to Altman about her concerns. I'd believe that she didn't say "I'm publishing a paper about it now" but I can't believe she didn't talk to him about her concerns during the last 4+ years that it's been a core tension at the company.

That's what I mean; she should have discussed the paper and its contents specifically with Altman, and easily could have. It's a hugely damaging thing to have your own board member come out critically against your company. It's doubly so when it blindsides the CEO.

She had many, many other options available to her that she did not take. That was a grave mistake and she paid for it.

"But what about academic integrity?" Yes! That's why this whole idea was problematic from the beginning. She can't be objective and fulfill her role as board member. Her role at Georgetown was in direct conflict with her role on the OpenAI board.
