Ask HN: How much of OpenAI narrative is Team Altman driving?

Looking at how the narrative is playing out, it’s playing perfectly for Sam -make the board look incompetent (going fourth string for interim CEO, attempting a merger with competitor, flimsy reasons given for firing) -get a viable alternative (Microsoft offering to hire everyone) -get open AI to unify (employees signing petition, including ilya eating crow in front of the world) It’s playing beautifully for him and I’m just left wondering how much of this is him / his team effectiveness at controlling narrative vs people acting relatively independently and in their own self interest As someone else pointed out there’s huge opps the board is missing -new CEO grabbing bull by the balls, reassuring employees and partners and leading away from the path of Sam -board reassuring the same -sharing real reasons why Sam was let go -anti Sam campaign (if he deserved this surely there are credible people to testify to it) They lost the initiative and now I don’t see how the board gets out of this pickle
