the theory that Altman did something in bad faith means that it might not be a disagreement but it's something that forced Sutskever to vote against Sam

- duringmath 3y agoThe theory is Altman gave his eye scanning crypto company early access to openAI tech without telling anyone and what ensued is just FAFO in action.
- woeirua 3y agoThat’s not big enough to immediately terminate him.
- dragonwriter 3y agoSelf-dealing like that really is, not saying I see any reason to suspect its that and not something else, but, yeah, doing that and cocncealing it absolutely would be a reason for both firing him and making the statement made. Unless Brockman was involved, though, firing Brockman doesn't really make sense.
- fragmede 3y agoYeah, looking at the self-dealing going on with WeWork and Adam Neumann, it's not that.
- lmm 3y agoThe board knew and agreed to it in that case.
- ssnistfajen 3y agoNot sure what you mean here. They tried to IPO in 2019 and all the dirty laundry came out, scuttled the IPO and Neumann got ousted.
- fragmede 3y agoOusted to the tune of millions and millions of dollars tho. Yeah he didn't get an IPO pop, but he's still worth more than you or I could make in several lifetime.
- dragonwriter 3y agoThere's a difference between self-dealing you sell the board on and self-dealing you conceal from the board (also, different where its a pure for-profit where the self-dealing happens and where there is a non-profit involved, because the latter not only raises issues of conflict of interest with the firm, but also potential violations of the rules governing non-profits.)
- nothrowaways 3y agoNo way, no Sam - crypto scandal again.
- moralestapia 3y agoI'm also inclined to believe something like this happened.
