>If Sam decided it was a mistake to dedicate his time to a non-profit, he’s perfectly free to quit [...]
To be clear, I don't think Sam can do anything and come out looking "good" from a public relations standpoint.
That said, Sam probably thinks he's justified because he was one of the original founders and co-chair of OpenAI -- so he feels he should have a say in pivoting it to something else. He said he got all the other donors on board ... except for Elon.
That leaves us with the messy situation today... Elon is the one filing the lawsuit and Sam is writing a PR blog post that's received as corporate doublespeak.
