it's all about how it went down - none of the investors, including the largest was updated on what was going on - Microsoft, found out minutes before the release.
I clearly was not in the room so look forward to hearing more about this but to have the largest investors surprised raises questions for me.
As far as ethics, yes, i care deeply about those and of course not, I'm not advocating Purdue Pharma like support. My point is if these were serious longstanding issues then there should have been no surprise from any one.
“Sam Altman's firing as OpenAI CEO was not the result of "malfeasance or anything related to our financial, business, safety, or security/privacy practices" but rather a "breakdown in communications between Sam Altman and the board," per an internal memo from chief operating officer Brad Lightcap seen by Axios”
‘Breakdown in communication’ to firing the CEO of arguably the world’s most important company abruptly still seems really extreme…
"Altman has been looking to raise tens of billions of dollars from Middle Eastern sovereign wealth funds to create an AI chip startup to compete with processors made by Nvidia Corp., according to a person with knowledge of the investment proposal."
"Altman was courting SoftBank Group Corp. chairman Masayoshi Son for a multibillion-dollar investment in a new company to make AI-oriented hardware in partnership with former Apple designer Jony Ive."
Were the new startups fund raising the driver behind the "not consistently candid" comment?
"OpenAI board chafed at Altman’s efforts to raise funds off of OpenAI’s name .. concerns that the new businesses might not share the same governance model as OpenAI, the person said."

the plot thickens...hopefully not an ethical issue but more here
