The explanation for point 1 is point 3. If the people involved were not terminally online and felt the need to share every single one of their immediate thoughts with the public they could have likely settled this behind closed doors, where this kind of stuff belongs. It's not actually news, it's entertainment and self-aggrandizement by everyone involved including the audience.

Interesting that the board were repeatedly criticized for "not being adults", and yet they were also the only party not live-tweeting everything... Seems like there's no way to win with Twitter. You may not be interested in Twitter, but Twitter is interested in you.

  the board didn’t have to tweet. their ridiculous actions spoke for itself.

    we still don't know what Altman has actually been hiding, so to say it was ridiculous ... is ridiculous itself.

      the board’s actions were ridiculous regardless of Sam’s. sell oai to anthropic? were they out of their minds?

        From the perspective of upholding the charter https://openai.com/charter https://openai.com/charter and preventing an AI race -- seems potentially sensible

  They didn’t tweet, but did they communicate in any other way?!

    Well, there was the initial announcement.

      To say that communication was lacking is an understatement. Clarifications were missing and sorely needed.

  The board not saying what the hell they were on about was the source of the whole drama in the first place. If they had just said exactly what their problem was up front there wouldn't have been as much to tweet about.

  Considering CEO2 rebelled next day and CEO3 allegedly said he'll quit unless board comes out with truth, doesn't provide much confidence in their adulthood.
