OpenAI’s announcement late Friday that the company was firing Altman and replacing him on an interim basis with technology chief Mira Murati sent shockwaves across Silicon Valley.

    Official statement is that Altman was not being “candid” with the board. The current best theory I’ve seen is that Altman is investing in AI hardware startups (he is, in fact) and likely planning on having OpenAI doing business with them. buying them, or merging with them in the future.

      Oh, good read. I saw that “candid” comment as well, but didn’t think of a possible connection. That makes sense. Thanks
