I'm reminded of Bob Lee's killing, when many initial reactions assumed it was a random act of violence and blamed city leaders for progressive policies and decarceration, but it later turned out to be personally motivated [1][2].

Similarly, in this case, the truth may not be suicide nor company-initiated morder, but something else entirely.

In the research community, "4D" is a commonly used term to differentiate from work on static 3D objects and environments, especially in recent years since the advent of NeRF.

The term "dynamic" has long been used similarly, but sometimes connotes a narrower scope. For example, reconstruction of cloth dynamics from an RGBD sensor, human body motion from a multi-view camera rig, or a scene from video, but assuming that the scene can be decomposed into rigid objects with their individual dynamics and an otherwise static environment. An even narrower related term in this space would be "articulated", such as reconstruction of humans, animals, or objects with moving parts. However, the representations used in prior works typically did not generalize outside their target domains.

So, "4D" has become more common recently to reflect the development of more general representations that can be used to model dynamic objects and environments.

If you'd like to find related work, I'd recommend searching in conjunction with a conference name to start, e.g. "4D CVPR" or "4D NeurIPS", and then digging into webpages of specific researchers or lab groups. Here are a couple interesting related works I found:

He convinced other members of the board that Sam was not the right person for their mission. The original statement implies that Ilya expected Greg to stay at OpenAI, but Ilya seems to have miscalculated his backing.

This appears to be a power struggle between the original nonprofit vision of Ilya, and Sam's strategy to accelerate productionization and attract more powerful actors and investors.

Perhaps Ilya felt Sam was focusing too much on profit and power with his recent world tour and then dev day? Regardless, it's certainly rare, for one of the core scientists to maintain control over their creation, rather than the other way around. Typically the VC business guy would be pushing the scientist out.
