Man what a clusterfuck. Things still don't really add up based on public info. I'm sure this will be the end of any real attempts at safeguards, but with the board acting the way it did, I don't know that there would've been even without him returning. You know the board fucked up hard when some SV tech bro looks like the good guy.

I mean, the non-profit board appears, at current glance, to have fired the CEO for their paranoid-delusional beliefs, that this LLM is somehow a real AGI and we are already at a point of a thinking, learning, AI.

Just delusional grandeur on behalf of the board, or they didn't and don't understand what is really going on, which might be why they fired the CEO: for not informing the board, truly, what level OpenAI's AI is actually at. So the board was trying to reign in a beast that is merely a puppy, with information that was wrong.

Really? I thought it was because he supposedly raped his younger sister.

His sister accused him of some stuff a few years ago but nothing ever came of it. She apparently has credibility issues so I think the general view is the allegations are the delusions of a mentally ill person and/or a shakedown attempt.

Could be, but words on Twitter and no lawsuit don't really equal getting ejected from your CEO position. Imagine if CEOs got ejected for stuff akin to that, there'd be no CEOs left.
