My guess was that he approved training their ai on a bunch of copyrighted material and they're staring down the barrel of a lawsuit. Well before i heard about this anyway.
No. It's not related to that ongoing lawsuit (which OpenAI believes it can win). OpenAI's business model is relying on webscraped datasets, so it would be silly to fire Altman for doing what the sector has been doing for the last decade.
Also, it sounds like this is getting reversed, and in fact the OpenAI board might actually get purged instead due to pressure from Microsoft and other OpenAI senior figures: https://www.theverge.com/2023/11/18/23967199/breaking-openai-board-in-discussions-with-sam-altman-to-return-as-ceo
Ah ok I remember hearing something about a lawsuit I wasn't sure who it was against. Thanks.
