No, it's more like... People have been claiming I left my wife. That's not true. She had a guy BFF but then this guy publicly announced that my wife and him would start dating. So I said it's me or him. She chose him and we thereafter divorced. > but when OpenAI announced that it was going to have a for-profit subsidiary and that Sam was going to be the CEO If anything (in case you're looking for a scoop), PG implies that YC found-out about Sam's raising the stakes on OpenAI through a third-party ("OpenAI announced"), which does not look good for Sam. There's even a subtle "but" in there. The firing versus resigning discussion is irrelevant, the focus is probably (and arguably) the lack of clear communication on Sam's part regarding a conflict of interest for both parties, YC and Sam. As a counter-argument, OpenAI was a running show anyway, which YC was on the know and apparently openly allowed and the for-profit thing was just a matter of time.
