But, The Timing is Kind of Bad
The decision to unveil this feature was likely made well in advance, but its timing is undeniably unfortunate. OpenAI finds itself mixed up in an executive crisis, marked by the sudden dismissal of CEO Sam Altman. Following the incident, three senior researchers left in support of Altman, and if h is not reinstated, an even greater departure could be sparked by the outpouring of support.
The repercussions of the board’s decision have escalated into a widespread demand for the entire OpenAI board to step down. An astonishing 700 out of 770 employees have agreed to this request.
