Curious of what folks take aways were from the drama that unfolded at OpenAI?
I think one thing for sure for me was how fast this all has evolved. It hasn’t even been 48 hours, and there are thousands of stories and every minute the story is changing.
Thoughts?
Perhaps the takeaway is in your message? Realign corporate structure, perhaps? Current governance seems to not be working if they fire him on Friday and want him back on Saturday…
When founders or CEO have their vision for the future that is not only in contradiction but also conflicts the vision the board have, one of these two is going to win.
Usually founders have priority shares so they are always able to win as “they are the board”.
In here the founders were probably in heavy conflicts in what they planed to do going forward, this level of disagreement was more likely on a ideological level which means 100% unsolvable, someone had to go.
