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...

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

My three-sentence comment directly references it in the third.
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.
The creepy one where they all simultaneously posted the same mantra to Twitter like a cult gathering? Yeah that definitely reassured me of Altman's leadership and good intentions.
Dont forget the US media incessant coverage of a private company’s business matter of firing someone as if it was an unheard of calamity.
Pretty incredible that employees will go to bat for a lying scum bag when they would never do that for each other.

A CEO getting fired, not by the for-profit company's Board, but by a board with a public mission, right after said company released a groundbreaking product that captured the popular imagination and then turned that into a multibillion dollar deal with Microsoft (which in turn parlayed into trillions of dollars of wealth across the economy), is absolutely news.
