Everyone involved in this needs to go. Employees quitting in protest is a point in Sam's favor. The employee letter is a point in Sam's favor. The lack of a compelling narrative as to why this action was undertaken is a huge point in Sam's favor. The board just looks terrible and incompetent here. Again: not looping Microsoft in on this, even if you don't technically have to, speaks to the board's incompetence. I can't speak to the merits of the firing. Not much is known publicly. This was an execution and communications debacle however and that's sufficient to get rid of the entire board AFAIC. The revolving door of interim CEOs and the rumors of Sam's possible return just make this whole thing into even more of a clown show. As for Ilya's regret for their part in this, I'm not sure I buy it. That may well be just a response to how much negative publicity this has gotten. This whole thing feels like an internal power struggle to me. If so, Ilya may well have hoped to benefit from the new regime. The longer this goes on, the worse the OpenAI board looks.
