Don't fully believe this, but the only rational explanation I can see is that Ilya knows they have AGI.

   - Nuke employee morale: massive attrition, not getting upside (tender offer),
   - Nuke the talent magnet: who's going to want to work there now?
   - Nuke Microsoft relationship: all those GPUs gone,
   - Nuke future fundraising: who's going to fund this shit show?

Just doesn't make sense.

People really need to stop with this AGI bullshit. They make a glorified Markov chain and suddenly they should have AGI? Self-driving cars are barely able to stay on the road after all this time, but sure, someone's hiding conscious machines in their basement.

burnout and sleep deprivation can lead to some pretty bad choices; thats why you want to surround yourself with people that will stand up to you when your ideas and plans suffer from too much tunnel vision. sounds like the other 3 board members were yes-men/women; the house of cards was there for a while, it seems.

Reminds me of the very ending of the show Silicon Valley. Crazy twist and great last two episodes of the show.
