My current guess is that Helen and Sam had disagreements, and that caused Sam to be less-than-candid about the state of OpenAI's tech, and that was the straw that broke the camel's back for Helen. A disagreement within the board is one thing, but if the CEO undermines the ability of the board to provide oversight, that sort of crosses a line. Alternatively, maybe it became clear to the board that Sam was trying to either bully them into becoming loyalists, or replace them with loyalists. As a board member, if the CEO is badgering me into becoming a yes-man and threatening to kick me off if I don't comply, I can't exactly say that I'm able to supervise the company effectively, can I?
