Altman is “ambivalent” and wants governance changes.

    Okay so you fired someone, then decided later to bring them back. This means whatever guideline you use to fire people is floppy or petulant, you caved to public backlash, or the firing guidelines are clear but the information you took grave actions upon was bad (was unreliable and/or unverified).

    Anyway, none of those things are good markers of leadership.

    Edit: Forgot another reason for recanting a firing: your boss told you that you don’t have the authority. Nothing takes away your leadership teeth like that…

      It was a board coup, led by the chief scientist over disagreement on monetization / speed of deployment. Minority investor Microsoft was super angry after they heard, probably put the pressure on them.

      How is it that all these comments miss the fact that there are zero leaks from the board (even anonymously) that this is the case? This is so clearly a move by Altman and his supporters to chum the waters and make the board look incompetent (when there is no evidence to corroborate it). “People in the know” is what you say when you can’t be more specific and could literally be any from my Altman himself to disgruntled employees. You can bet your bottom dollar if they had a real line into the board you’d give something much less wishy-washy.

      Stop reading headlines as facts people.

      Called it lol. This could be one of the greatest marketing coups of all time. Its all about the guerrilla marketing, ads are useless, everyones drowning in data and information, cha ching cha ching. Said the same thing about OnlyFans. Give people a show and they’ll shower you back with their own gives

    This is how you say “wait, shit, we fucked up” in Board of Directors.

    Be interesting to see how many of them still have seats by Christmas.

    We need Armando Ianucci (The Thick of it, In the Loop, The Death of Stalin) to get the film rights to this when the dust settles. Holy shit what an opportunity to skewer high tech idiots and business idiocy in general.

    They got a look at how many were quitting on Monday and realized their whole company was screwed. This is how Sam will wipe out the board of directors, possibly with ownership percentage?
