OpenAI was planning to add more members to the board. Meanwhile Sam and GDB are fully productizing the company, even training GPT5. The safety group has been increasingly concerned and feels the non-profit charter has been slowly losing over it its $ minded startup side. They see the writing on the wall, as most employees care about those sweet $ ppu’s, and decide they have a last ditch effort, maybe 25% chance, of averting this successfully. They feel they have to do it otherwise the company will just be Microsoft accelerating GPT development into our oblivion. They aren’t quite successful.
Remember, this company was founded, 8 years ago, with Sama writing “Why You Should Fear Machine Intelligence.”
Although vaguely possible, there’s something else to the story as Emmett Shear said “The board did not remove Sam over any specific disagreement on safety, their reasoning was completely different from that.”
