OpenAI's chaos does not add up A list of things that a coherent story does not make: Sam Altman crafts an elaborate non-profit structure but gets completely blindsided by the possibility of the board overthrowing them. Microsoft invests $10 billion but apparently has no checks in place to know what's happening with their investment. The board moves quickly to sack the CEO but then falls completely silent, thus almost intentionally losing the communication war. Sam Altman says he wants to develop AI for the benefit of humanity yet at the first possible moment he sets up a deal that sells 49% of their endeavor to Microsoft. After getting kicked out of OpenAI, his first move is to start a brain drain campaign and move their operations under the wings of Microsoft. Ilya is never actually publicly blamed for the coup but is logically assumed to be at fault. He does not communicate at all… until posting a regretful apology for merely "participating" in the board's actions. The board is made up seemingly random selection of people, one of them leading a potential OpenAI competitor.
