“To be fair Helen was going off of “articles” from WaPo” is some kind of defence. What kind of competence did she have if she just forwards stuff without thinking or investigating first? I would say this solidifies why she wasn’t fit for the job

The WaPo article states unambiguously that Altman was fired from YC for dropping the ball. It apparently cites three anonymous sources from YC, not pg. Why would she bother investigating whether that was true or not when she was already fired from OpenAI? You would only know that was disputed if you were actively following pg's twitter account, or somebody quoting pg's tweets.
Because she stating it as fact, she’s easily prone to info influence for someone that had a very important role dealing with data
