Amazing how employees can join together to force an entire board to resign in the interests of their CEO, but as soon as it’s about their own interests that’s absurd and naive (mastodon.xyz)

Board members are selected by the shareholders. In this case Microsoft owns 49% of the company, so they probably had something to do with it.

They aren't. Not for open AI.

The board governs the open Ai ngo not the for profit, which allows investment, though the ngo owns the for profit.

So any investment in the for profits doesn't necessarily impact the board.

Reports suggest that, despite the prospect of investors suing over the board’s actions, the resolve of the remaining three directors has hardened — and if OpenAI fails, so be it.
