    Very much this, in 2023 there was a falling out between Altman and the board of OpenAI over this, and Altman was kicked out. However some big shareholders (Microsoft) made a stink and reversed it.

      I think many employees close to Altman also went to strike or theaten to leave. But I think he’s bad for the (now) company. They should’ve stayed non-profit

        It wasn’t “many employees close to Altman”. It was the entire company, including the people who initiated the process of getting him kicked out. The whole thing made absolutely no sense.
