More or less. The C-suite answers to the Board of Directors who represent the interests of the shareholders + the corporate charter. In this case Altman and I guess Brockman were "insufficiently candid" with the Board and made it hard to carry out their duties, so down the drain they go.
Can anybody tell me what insufficiently candid means?
It means they lied, either directly or by omission, but seriously and materially enough for the board to make this move.
Or at least that’s the claim.
Thanks! The only use of candid I knew was candid photos, and I supposed the board wasn't interested in his private parts enough to fire him.
You need to reread your Voltaire.
Re was the wrong prefix there, friend.
OpenAI also has extremely good options for replacements. Andrej Karpathy is back at OpenAI after leading Tesla’s autonomous driving, Ilya Sutskever is highly respected, etc. The perception I had of Sam Altman was that he was more so business side and not research side, (previous YC president, had a crypto startup on the side, raising VC funds, etc) so a move to a more research oriented C-Suite might also seem like a really good option to their board.
The board controls a non profit so they don’t actually have any shareholders.
