n.b. It's not, that's why it was possible for them to move on from Altman

That's only under the assumption that the split with Altman was due to the doomers vs bloomers conflict and not just a dirty move from OpenAI board member Adam D'Angelo, trying to protect his investment in Quora's AI Poe.

They didn't move on from Altman did they? So was it really possible?

They didn't fail to get rid of Altman because the board is VCs. Because the board is not VCs.

I'm not familiar with either fanfic, beyond the one-sentence pitch[1]. I'm not sure why one of the two has to be true for reality (the board is not VCs) to be true

[1] RIP "they switched everyone to prepaid billing!!!11!" I ate probably -10 saying "no, you got that email saying it was available because it was a feature announced at devday as coming soon"

Except that's not really true. Almost everyone on the board were either VCs themselves or had very strong ties to the them. In any case OpenAI would be irrelevant without significant investments from organizations/people who want a return on them. So it's basically a moot point: no VCs/big corporations = no fancy,extremely expensive to train & develop LLMs.
