It's just weird when it's employees standing up against management on behalf of a rich scumbag scammer.

Isn't he also on Reddit's board? As far as I'm concerned he enabled Spez.

I’ve never heard of much other news about Altman, what’s wrong?

Do you need to when he's gone to Microsoft as a reaction to all this?

Aah, in this case the board is non-profit, so in that context and given the origins of OpenAI as global good open source AI (though the open source part is gone, in part due to his actions). For actual details on what he's done specifically, others have shared, but again most of that is in context of OpenAI for-profit arm being a subsidiary of the non-profit one is what makes it weird.
