That he’s a liability to OpenAI, which is slowly coming around to the realization that it would be worth more without him.

To be clear, I don’t think OpenAI could have raised what it raised as quickly as it did without him. But with the benefit of hindsight, Microsoft should have let the safety board fire him.

Slowly? They realised that and ousted him in 2023. I'm not sure if you didn't know or just forgot. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Removal_of_Sam_Altman_from_Ope...

They is doing a lot of work in your sentence. Almost the entire employee population signed a public letter of support with names attached in the middle of the drama.

More accurate to say the board I think.

Not because he threatened OpenAI’s valuation. The idea that OpenAI might be worth more without Altman is still heretical talk.

> not sure if you didn't know

My three-sentence comment directly references it in the third.
