>>my bet is that the last paragraph of the statement holds the key:
No, this is obviously the key:
"review process by the board, which concluded that he was not consistently candid in his communications with the board"
This is an explicit statement that he was lying to the board about something. It cannot be worded more clearly unless switching to use the word "lying".
- EVa5I7bHFq9mnYK 3y agoThere is no AI, Sam Altman was answering all the prompts?
- jrockway 3y agoThat is one of the places my mind went, but with the availability of open-source language models, it's pretty unlikely. You can run a language model yourself and observe that it's almost as good as ChatGPT, so there is no question that OpenAI is capable of providing the services they do in the way they say they do.
- Scarblac 3y agoSam Altman never informed the board, let ChatGPT write all his mails instead?

- 698969 3y agoAhh, so that's why he cut off signups after Dev Day.
- maximus-decimus 3y agoYou're describing Theranos.
- kaycebasques 3y agoYes true that is obviously the most pertinent sentence. I guess my point is that even with that sentence there is still wide-ranging speculation about what happened, and I think the last paragraph is hinting at what happened.
- jeffwask 3y agoWhy not both "benefits all of humanity" and "lying"? What is in pursuit of profit he made deals that went against that tenant and lied about them? It maybe all ties back to Microsoft.
- sharkjacobs 3y agoYes, it was clear that he was lying, but lying doesn't matter for in a vacuum, the thing that matters is what he's lied about. That's what it's fun to speculate about.
- kromem 3y agoRead the rest of the line you cut out: "he was not consistently candid in his communications with the board, hindering its ability to exercise its responsibilities." Given the comment above correctly noted that they explicitly ended on a whole thing about how the board's key responsibility was their commitment to the original core mission, and their issue with his lying was interference with their responsibilities, this does seem to be connected to that.
