    I imagine this is about financial chicanery or sex pesting but the funniest outcome would be if they just replaced him with ChatGPT to save money. If there’s any job a chatbot can do today, it’s CEO.

      financial chicanery

      I’m sure he’s failing to find further funding in the current interest rate market and their business model frankly has no profitability end in sight. Running all those computing resources for free is a road to ruin.

        It actually seems to be the opposite - Altman focussing on commercialization, whereas the board wants to continue the non-commercial focus.

        I really hope this is the case.

          Hahahahahahahaha… A board more interested in non-profit work vs making more money? Sorry, I think this is way over optimistic.

          That was my guess. I can imagine a situation where he was deliberately understating or obfuscating how vulnerable they were in that regard, or else simply overconfident they were legally in the clear.
