        It means they lied, either directly or by omission, but seriously and materially enough for the board to make this move.

        Or at least that’s the claim.

      OpenAI also has extremely good options for replacements. Andrej Karpathy is back at OpenAI after leading Tesla’s autonomous driving, Ilya Sutskever is highly respected, etc. The perception I had of Sam Altman was that he was more so business side and not research side, (previous YC president, had a crypto startup on the side, raising VC funds, etc) so a move to a more research oriented C-Suite might also seem like a really good option to their board.

      The board controls a non profit so they don’t actually have any shareholders.
