    If OpenAI doesn’t have stable, rational and deliberative leadership, none of what they claim to stand for matters. The board did an end-run around the chair and summarily fired Altman Friday afternoon without consulting with any other stakeholders beforehand. They still haven’t offered a coherent explanation for why they did what they did.

      There’s no “other stakeholders” tho. It’s a non profit board with a profit capped company that they control. The whole goal of the structure was to resist monetary capture and yet here we are

        A stakeholder is something different than a stockholder. A stakeholder could be an employee, investor, customer, someone selling equipment to them or even the community they work in.

        Basically anyone who’s affected by their actions.
