"god, he's really cost us... how much can we get back?"

which concluded that he was not consistently candid in his communications with the board

not only with the board, kids

hindering its ability to exercise its responsibilities

you and me both, brother

the thread is too gigantic to do pull quotes, but the number of poor delusional fucks who’ve decided this must be due to Altman’s business genius (somehow), the birth of an AGI that’s blackmailing the board, that this is just how executive boards normally act, or are just generally arguing that these severely out of touch rich folk must all be acting reasonably and legally in spite of all experience to the contrary is kind of astounding

The ink on his dismissal letter isn't even dry (modern HP printers suck!) and people are putting this kinds of websites out there already. Somebody didn't think if they should while it was clear they couldn't. "Site built with ❤️ and ChatGPT" (Also starting a gossip website isn't love).

Historical examples like Apple, Uber, and WeWork show that such moves often led to stagnation or even GPUs.

Proving once again that text generation is at its best when it mimics the first step of the "write high, edit sober" process.
