TLDR: someone who worked at OpenAI relates their firsthand experiences with Sam (not always positive; some lies and deceptive behavior), while strongly vouching for Helen's and Ilya's integrity and character.

My take: this is a counterpoint to a point that is not very relevant. Yes, the ad hominen attacks are despicable, but it should be a debate of their actions, not people's values and character. It's undeniable that the 4 board members didn't demonstrate competence to handle this situation, and very likely didn't fulfill their duty towards the interests of OpenAI's mission (neither the for-profit or the non-profit one). They don't have anyone but themselves to blame for this s*show.
