Because they won't have a company to "run the board for" anymore if Sam doesn't come back (since so many people have threatened to resign).

- cmdli 3y agoThey also won't have a company if they resign. Not much benefit to them here, is there?
- jxi 3y agoI guess since they're doomed anyway, resignation saves face a little bit more.
- cbozeman 3y agoIf you're going to die, die with honor, not without. Basically the board's choices are commit seppuku and maybe be viable somewhere else down the line, or try to play hardball and fuck your life forever. It's not really that hard a choice, but given the people who have to make it, I guess it kinda is...
- Davidzheng 3y agoDo they need to be viable? I think the point is that they are not motivated by this crap
- mark_l_watson 3y agoQuestion: is there a public statement signed by a large number OpenAI employees saying that they will resign over this? I don’t know. I have seen that three people resigned. If I were an OpenAI employee I think I would wait a month and see how things shake out. Those employees can probably get very highly paid jobs elsewhere, now, or later. The Anthropic founders left OpenAI after Altman shifted the company to be a non-profit controlling a for profit entity, right?
