I can't interpret from the charter that the board has the authorisation to destroy the company under the current circumstances:
> We are concerned about late-stage AGI development becoming a competitive race without time for adequate safety precautions. Therefore, if a value-aligned, safety-conscious project comes close to building AGI before we do, we commit to stop competing with and start assisting this project
That wasn't the case.
So it may be not so far fetched to call her actions borderline as it is also very easy to hide personal motives behind altruistic ones.
