Yeah, this is like, we are getting sued for billions of dollars and directors are going to jail bad.
So my bet is either they lied about how they are using customer data, covered up a massive data breach or something similar to that. The only thing that's a bit hard to figure there is how specific this is to Altman. A big scandal would be leaking out I would think and more people would be getting fired.

- bpodgursky 3y agoYeah but the CTO is now interim CEO. Hard to imagine her getting the role if that was the case.
- ChatGTP 3y ago"Interim CEO", she may also be marked for termination too.
- dragonwriter 3y agoIf she was under investigation, the board would almost certainly bypass her for the interim CEO position, to mitigate the disruption if that investigation also turned out negative. (They might make her CEO after she was cleared, though, if it went the other way.)
- chatmasta 3y agoRandom question: do you have any connection to the Dragon speech-to-text software [0] that was first released in 1997? I've always found that to be an intriguing example of software that was "ahead of its time" (along with "the mother of all demos" [1]). And if so, it's funny to see you replying to the account named after (a typo of) ChatGPT.

- amyjess 3y agoUnless she was the one who blew the whistle on him. Here's a hypothetical scenario: - New feature/product/etc. launch is planned. - Murati warns Altman that it's not ready yet and there are still security and privacy issues that need to be worked out. - Altman ignores her warnings, launches anyway. - Murati blows the whistle on him to the board, tells them that he ordered the launch over her objections. - Data breach happens. Altman attempts to cover it up. Murati blows the whistle again. - Board fires Altman, gives Murati the job as it's clear from her whistleblowing that she has the ethics for it at least. Again, completely hypothetical scenario, but it's one possible explanation for how this could happen.
- sumthingsumthng 3y agoor it's the other way around. she wants to launch because money and investors and that's all that she's really about. he says fuck them and their money, it's not ready yet, here's a bunch of other things that will make people go wooooow. she's not happy he does that because future. convinces the board of money and investors. the board shits on humanity and goes for money and investors.
- rtpg 3y ago“Do a hugely public firing because a feature wasn’t launched” would probably be a first
- majani 3y agoI'm betting that ridiculous offer they made last week to cover developer legal fees has already blown up in their face
- fatherzine 3y ago"they lied about how they are using customer data" -- possibly. it is in the inherent logic of the ai to gobble up as much data as physically possible
- mertd 3y agoZero percent chance that Ilya (part of the board) would be blindsided by this.
- fatherzine 3y agothings are moving faster than the ability of any human to keep up.
- JohnFen 3y agoThis is the most plausible speculation I've read here, really.
- jaredklewis 3y ago> covered up a massive data breach or something similar to that Honest question: do execs or companies in general ever suffer consequences for data breaches? Seems like basically no one cares about this stuff.
- mynegation 3y agoReally different between private and public companies.

- JohnFen 3y agoI think it depends on whose data was revealed, and the nature of the data.

- rrrx3 3y agoClorox just fired their CISO last week for a data breach
- deelowe 3y agoIsn't that what ciso roles are for? They aren't real c-suite roles are they?
- anamexis 3y agoA CISO's role is to get fired after a data breach
- anticensor 3y agoNo, their role is to prevent a data breach from happening in the first place.

- gemstones 3y agoI bet the data breach being covered up is not customer data, but IP. My #2 theory is that the breach is prompt data and it went to a nation-state adversary of the US. Plenty of people putting sensitive work info into ChatGPT when they shouldn’t.

- Geee 3y agoIt might be related to this: https://www.cnbc.com/2023/11/09/microsoft-restricts-employee-access-to-openais-chatgpt.html https://www.cnbc.com/2023/11/09/microsoft-restricts-employee... Microsoft had inside information about their security, which is why they restricted access. Meanwhile, every other enterprise and gov organisation using ChatGPT is exposed.
