He received from the board? Here we go again with the narrative that Ilya was a bystander, at most an unwilling participant. He was a member of the board, on equal footing with the other board members, and his vote to oust Sam was necessary for there to be a majority.
- awb 3y agoYeah, that narrative doesn't sync with the prior paragraph... > chief scientist and co-founder Sutskever, who helped vote Altman out and did the actual firing of him over Google Meet
- paulddraper 3y agoIt turns out the AGI was a board member.
- swatcoder 3y agoAltman et al have been driving coordinated PR all weekend, and it's clear from his regrets tweet and the employee petition that Sustkever has now taken solidarity with Altman, so you would expect Altman's PR engine to start trying to restore Sustkever's image as they provide tips and comments to reporters.
- lumost 3y agoIt’s also not unreasonable that the Altman camp pushed on Ilya first as he was the most likely to switch his vote. D’Angelo is suddenly in the cross hairs for conflict of interest. If he’s taken off the board - then the remaining two members can vote provided there is no quorum rule. Alternately, the goal is to drive so much ambiguity into the boards decision that MSFT files a lawsuit. /end rampant speculation.
