Why couldn’t they release the evidence? At least some of it is here in the article, and it’s damaging to Sam but not particularly damaging to the company. If Murati demanded they release the evidence, why refuse?
Murati didn't demand they release the evidence, as far as I could tell. The board are describing as not wanting to throw Murati under the bus by stating the evidence came from her, which makes sense if their goal was to install her as the new CEO.
> [Murati] and the rest of the executive team gave the board a 30-minute deadline to explain why they fired Altman or resign—or else the executive team would quit en masse.
> The board felt they couldn’t divulge that it had been Murati who had given them some of the most detailed evidence of Altman’s management failings.
Unclear whether she wanted it released internally or publicly, but this sounds like a demand to me.
She/the team demanded an explanation, not the Murati-sourced evidence. You could read this as Murati asking the board to provide a narrative the rest of the team could buy into without directly using her evidence; I would assume that she was operating under the assumption that the board had already prepared such a narrative.
