Friday bombshell, Sam Altman is gone from OpenAI:

Mr. Altman’s departure follows a deliberative review process by the board, which concluded that he was not consistently candid in his communications with the board, hindering its ability to exercise its responsibilities. The board no longer has confidence in his ability to continue leading OpenAI.

Didn’t see even a hint that something like this might happen. Pretty shocking.

@manton this is truly something. We will know of course soon, but it must be something ”not related to his performance as CEO” as they sometimes put these

@manton Wonder what he did? Next few weeks should be interesting.

@manton What do you think the odds are that it has something to do with his crypto project? 😅
