>It's not reported as much as it should be, but at one point in 2021 the OpenAI board had 10 people on it. In the beginning of 2023 it had 9 people. 3 stepped down over the course of 2023 and were not replaced, leaving only 6 in place by the time of last week's fiasco. Something bothered me when I read the board members' bios after Altman's firing but didn't figure out until today; it's not so much what they say, as much as what they don't say. There is no greybeard, some seasoned current/former C-level at another company (no, the CEO of Quora does not quality). There is no VC representative. My question: Did the board ever have such people? (I realize that OpenAI has this weird nonprofit/profit ownership arrangement which I still don't get, and that the VC board members/observers are presumably on the profit side, but that still doesn't answer the implied question!)
