Are all the rumors on social media sites considered out of bound on HN? They seem fairly plausible given the known circumstantial evidence floating around.

Skunkworks in the basement achieved AGI 6 months ago. Board left in the dark until they got an eight-figure electric bill. Now the entire company is in the dark.

I mean, if they don't come out and explain what happened, they can't be surprised when people "hallucinate" all kinds of random, preposterous explanations.

What are the rumors? In this case I think nothing is out of bound, including Skynet in the building.
They related to his personal and familial life and are about as bad as it gets, well apart from murder and torture or something, but fairly close.
The wording of the letter from the board sounded like he was keeping company details from them to me, not personal matters. Maybe I'm wrong but that was the impression I was under reading it.
I think those are already posted 100 times on the main thread, and discussed in detail. None of that is new so can't be the reason for something like this.
I understood it as there are additional and ongoing incidents and possible board was given hard evidence of such.
Are you willing to be more specific, or link to such a discussion?
Not really. It’s all so torrid. More interesting would be anything that points to a different reason or evidence the action was related to professional misconduct not personal. The problem is all the suggestions so far are too dissimilar from when LLMs “hallucinate”
