I don't think you and the rest of the people here understand the structure of OpenAI.

While our partnership with Microsoft includes a multibillion dollar investment, OpenAI remains an entirely independent company governed by the OpenAI Nonprofit. Microsoft has no board seat and no control. And, as explained above, AGI is explicitly carved out of all commercial and IP licensing agreements.

Microsoft has no say in anything whatsoever. The board did what it is supposed to do by it's own guidelines.

The board is SO RANDOM

Yes, that's the point. No major shareholders, no people who are in it for the money. It's a non-profit organization remember.

We founded the OpenAI Nonprofit in late 2015 with the goal of building safe and beneficial artificial general intelligence for the benefit of humanity. A project like this might previously have been the provenance of one or multiple governments—a humanity-scale endeavor pursuing broad benefit for humankind.

Altman turned evil so he had to be stopped.

The board did the right thing.
