The reporting on this in the last two days has been bizarre and of such shoddy quality, particularly from The Verge.<p>So many articles with no real sources saying the board was desperate for him to come back, or reneged on their decision, or that there would be an exodus of employees!<p>I’m glad the board wasn’t browbeaten by Sam and his cohort of VC friends.<p>I am also incredibly doubtful this will have any meaningful impact in terms of engineers/researchers who will choose to leave. Most of the core group of researchers and engineers joined OpenAI the non-profit, not OpenAI the LLC, that is to say I assume many have strong feelings about safety around AI, which judging by the employee testimonies in the recent Atlantic article Sam acted negligently towards.
