Matt BlazeI'm not especially interested in the recent/ongoing AI company drama, but I find it hard to imagine that MS could make such a quick decision and close the deal on a major hire like this if things hadn't already been in the works for a while.
Also, unusually for major executive shakeup dramas, at least so far it appears that no one was sexually assaulted.
… and, it appears I may be wrong about that. Can we please have a wholesome CEO scandal for a change? Something just involving plain old embezzlement or fraud?
Christie Dudley@mattblaze The thing is there was no real, tangible wrongdoing actually associated with Altman's ouster. All I can discern is he waffled too much for the 3 person board's liking.
Grumble@longobord @mattblaze The question is, what was he waffling *about*?
Conventional wisdom for CEO firings:
19/20 chance it was money, 1/20 chance it was an ugly felony.
