I think it's pretty clear by this point that the board consists of several people who are woefully ignorant about the way the world actually works.

It just blows me away. The unusual board activity is what drew me to this. What I'm also waiting for is an explanation for why/how they canned Brockman as their Chairman of the Board. With him so far I've not even heard of a hint of it being for cause, which it isn't exactly normal to remove a board member without cause...them offering to let him remain as regular employee actually made what they did all the more eyebrow raising.
It’s hard to tell from the outside what happened there. And if the article used a reliable source.
https://twitter.com/willknight/status/1726793735143621058 This guy claims he has "reason" to believe it's a "complete fabrication."

No idea whether to trust this guy or his source more than the original article though.

Feels like sabotage. Adam, the quora guy runs a chatbot AI company as well and is on the board.
If they’d wanted to sabotage OpenAI, they could have declared that building GPT5 is unsafe, pulled the plug and erased all the backups, no?
They could have. But they wanted to have it too.
But who has the power to remove the board?
Hellen and Tasha and possibly Adam.
