On the other hand, if they had some serious concerns, serious enough to fire the CEO in such a disgraceful way, I don't understand why they don't stick to their guns, and explain themselves. If you think OpenAI under Sam's leadership is going to destroy humanity, I don't understand how they (e.g. Ilya) reverted their opinions after a day or two.
Also, they will find a hard time joining any other board from now on.
They should have backed up the claims in the letter. They didn’t.
This means they didn’t have how to backup their claims. They didn’t think it through… extremely amateurish behavior.
