Judging from the current situation, openai's board of directors are all shameless people. If they still have dignity, they should resign immediately. They were unqualified and incapable of managing one of the most important technology companies in the world, and they destroyed a shining company, a great product, and the dreams of countless people. I will never use Poe and Quora again, and I will boycott any product related to Adam D'Angelo. Adam D'Angelo is an asshole.He doesn't have any shares in OpenAI, so he doesn't care about destroying OpenAI at all.Absolutely ridiculous, the only reason I can think of is that he's extremely jealous of Sam.
Sam should lead a group of outstanding engineers to rebuild another AI company. Maybe in the long run, leaving openai's naive board of directors might not be a bad thing for him.
Even an investor with deep pockets like Microsoft would be shocked by such a sudden action by the board of directors,and Microsoft will treat its money more carefully.I don't think Microsoft can pretend nothing happened.
That's just a technical perspective, but when it comes to developing advanced artificial intelligence industries, technology doesn't determine everything.
Years from now, people will realize that today was the starting point of OpenAI's decline. It's unfortunate that such important technological advancements were influenced by “palace politics”. Regardless, Sam's significant contributions deserved a more dignified departure, and the OpenAI board chose the least dignified way. Perhaps one day Sam will leave OpenAI, but it absolutely should not have been today.
