Sam Altman has been fired as CEO of OpenAI, the company announced on Friday.

“Mr. Altman’s departure follows a deliberative review process by the board, which concluded that he was not consistently candid in his communications with the board, hindering its ability to exercise its responsibilities,” the company said in its blog post.

He got billions in his account. I dont think he cares. For them job is something to do to not get bored, I guess?

Pretty much literally not about the money for him.

He didn't have any equity and didn't get a salary.

Was unaware the man has had his bank account records leaked to the public. Do you have a source for this claim?

Seems to be somewhere between 0.5 and 0.7 billion, which due to a quirk of the English language are technicallybillions, making OP technically not wrong ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

So if we're all billionaires, do we need to eat ourselves?
