Leaked memos detail why OpenAI's board tried to fire Sam Altman
The New Yorker just published a deep-dive investigation into Sam Altman, revealing roughly 70 pages of previously secret Slack chats and HR records compiled before his brief 2023 ouster. The memos, put together by co-founder Ilya Sutskever and colleagues, accuse Altman of a "consistent pattern" of lying and deceiving the board on safety protocols. Why it matters: with OpenAI reportedly gearing up for a trillion-dollar IPO, the shadow of its corporate governance drama is far from gone.
