But after the news about trying to merge with Anthropic, and then this? Seems like total amateur hour on the boards part.
>OpenAI is governed by the board of the OpenAI Nonprofit, comprised of OpenAI Global, LLC employees Greg Brockman (Chairman & President), Ilya Sutskever (Chief Scientist), and Sam Altman (CEO), and non-employees Adam D’Angelo, Tasha McCauley, Helen Toner.
It's now the non-employee board members vs the employee ones.
