Did everyone just forget that Altman was the cryptobro behind worldcoin, ie that thing that got banned in every poor African country it launched in because of ethics and general damage to the public? Like, we knew he was a shitty person since long before openai was a household name.
Also, we do have a pretty good idea of what Altman did that worried the board of directors, namely when trying to get someone he didn’t like removed he met with every board member one on one and then lied to them by saying that everyone else was already on board with his plan and agreed with him. The board members compared notes, realized that he lied to their face, and fired him for said lieing. Given his reputation I don’t see how that should have been new info, but I guess they thought he would be honest with them, if not the public.
