Turn that on it’s head - was he standing in the way of a commercial sale or agreement with Microsoft!
He may not be the villain.
But who knows, it feels like an episode of silicon valley!

That "handsy greasy little weirdo" Silicon Valley character Ariel and his robot Fiona were obviously based on Ben Goertzel and Sophia, not Sam Altman, though. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ben_Goertzel https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ben_Goertzel https://www.reddit.com/r/SiliconValleyHBO/comments/8edbk9/the_character_of_ariel_in_the_current_episode/ https://www.reddit.com/r/SiliconValleyHBO/comments/8edbk9/th... >The character of Ariel in the current episode instantly reminded me of Ben Goertzel, whom i stumbled upon couple of years ago, but did not really paid close attention to his progress.

- cooper_ganglia 3y agoThis was my first thought after seeing a clip of Sam and Satya during OpenAI's DevDay. I wonder if he was standing in the way of a Microsoft acquisition, and Microsoft has just forced in those who would allow the purchase to happen? I don't know, so much wild speculation all over the place, it's all just very interesting.
- PDSCodes 3y agoThey are betting so much on Open AI just now. They need to be so much more than a partner. Being open is not in their nature. Sadly it is usually the demise of innovation when they get their hook in.
- jablongo 3y agoIf you look at who is on the board, how it's structured (they don't have equity right?), it seems like it's actually because he violated the charter. Why would Ilya Sutskever punish Sam for doing the right thing wrt AI safety?
- malwarebytess 3y agoCertainly they could have fired him without Ilya's vote.
- d0odk 3y agoHow? Per the blog post: "OpenAI’s board of directors consists of OpenAI chief scientist Ilya Sutskever, independent directors Quora CEO Adam D’Angelo, technology entrepreneur Tasha McCauley, and Georgetown Center for Security and Emerging Technology’s Helen Toner." That's 4 directors after the steps taken today. Sam Altman and Greg Brockman both left the board as a result of the action. That means there were 6 directors previously. That means a majority of 4 directors. Assuming Sam & Greg voted against being pushed out, Ilya would have needed to vote with the other directors for the vote to succeed. Edit: It occurs to me that possibly only the independent directors were permitted to vote on this. It's also possible Ilya recused himself, although the consequences of that would be obvious. Unfortunately I can't find the governing documents of OpenAI, Inc. anywhere to assess what is required.
