Given the other comments in this thread, this vote was very recent, with Sam apparently not knowing of the situation yesterday. They haven't even updated their website, this page still describes Sam as CEO: https://openai.com/our-structure https://openai.com/our-structure
With this apparent rush, I'd habour the guess that the situation just happened to unfold on a Friday and wasn't planned as such.
- sumedh 3y agoIf you do MBA 101 they literally teach you to disclose bad news on Friday, it was definitely planned.
- Sebb767 3y agoThere's a 1/7 chance it just happened to be a Friday; probably closer to 1/5, given that these things tend to happen on workdays. I get that this looks like a strange coincidence, but major shareholders just had minutes of warning and they released the news before market close, sending Microsofts stock crashing down. Had they had the time to wait until Friday, they would have had 30 more minutes. So unless they had some fun with shorts, this doesn't look like a planned out action at all.

- blackoil 3y agodisclose bad news on Friday after market closes, not 1 hour before that.
- sumedh 3y agoOpen AI is not publicly traded though.
- pedrovhb 3y agoPerhaps the board was not necessarily in a hurry but set it up to be swift, with Sam and even MS kept in the dark until the actual firing.
