This comment is tone-deaf to the unique (and effective? TBD) arrangement of the board OpenAI 501(c)3 without compensation and the company they regulate. Your comment strikes me as not appreciating the unusually civic-minded arrangement, at least superficially, that is enabling the current power play. Maybe read the boards letter more carefully and provide your reaction. You castigate them as “non-techies” - meaning… what?

and the lesson the ousted ones learn for their next incarnation is to create organizations that allow for more control and more flexibility in board arrangements. I run a 501c3 as well, there are limitations in board composition in that entity type

nothing tone deaf about that, they wanted a for profit and are going to make one now and want leave the same vector open

Reread it as not being a comment about OpenAI it was about the lesson learned by every onlooker and the ousted execs

Tone deaf yet holds up under scrutiny
