Wow, I'm pretty shocked how this all went down. Given the abrupt nature of the announcement and the pointed message in it (essentially accusing Altman of lying), I was sure there must have been some big scandal, not just normal boardroom differences of opinion and game-of-thrones-style maneuvering.
Even if I agree with Sutskever's general position, I think his actions here were colossally stupid. He's basically managed to piss off a ton of people, and I have no doubt lots of employees will just shift to whatever Altman and Brockman end up doing, or else there will otherwise be some huge splintering of OpenAI talent.
