@taylorlorenz

Has he been replaced by AI?

@davidtheeviloverlord @taylorlorenz It's not his fault he was just asking chatGPT what to tell the board. They should fire ChatGPT!
@taylorlorenz โ€œhe was not consistently candid in his communications with the board, hindering its ability to exercise its responsibilitiesโ€ hey, uh oh
@taylorlorenz candid candy ๐Ÿฌ
I'm really excited about what happens next...๐Ÿฟ
@taylorlorenz Sounds like he lied about something important. This was very sudden.
@taylorlorenz glad to hear Sam Altman has more time to focus on his other projects, like [checks notes] an eyeball-scanning orb that pays people in a make-believe currency. Wait, that can't be right.

@taylorlorenz Wow! Unexpected.

Was Sam Altman too TESCREAList for the board? Maybe was loosing money too fast?
Some internal project falling too far behind?

@taylorlorenz ooh, this has "interesting, very interesting" all over it...
One quote " The majority of the board is independent, and the independent directors do not hold equity in OpenAI."
