So, to summarize the speculations:
That the board is unhappy with his for profit and moat building charted path.
That this is about his sister.
That he pissed off microsoft.
That he did something illegal, financially.
That he has been lying about costs/profit.
That he lied about copyrighted training data.
I will add: maybe he's not aggressive enough in pursuit of profit.

- H8crilA 3y agoWhat's the deal with his sister? Never heard about her.
- Argonaut998 3y agoI have seen something on Twitter in regards to a woman (apparently his sister) mentioning that he molested her. I have no idea if it is true or not, or if the Tweets are real, or if it is even his sister. These were apparently from years ago before he became as known as he is today. I won't like though it's the first thing that popped into my mind when I heard the news.
- replwoacause 3y agoI thought he was gay? I don’t know if I’ve heard of gay men sexually molesting little girls before. Not saying it’s never happened, just that it seems kind of rare and unexpected.
- heavyset_go 3y agoMolestation is about power and opportunity, the gender of the victim is often inconsequential. You'll find plenty of straight pedophiles who abused victims of either gender, and the same with gay offenders.
- replwoacause 3y agoGood info, thanks for correcting my misconception.
- heavyset_go 3y agoNo problem, it's a common misconception. Annie also touched upon that contradiction, essentially saying something to him akin to "you're welcome for my help in figuring your sexuality out".
- CSMastermind 3y agoSam's sister is an OnlyFans model who is estranged from the rest of her family and has a somewhat dubious reputation online. She went viral on twitter a few months ago for saying that Sam molested her for years as the two of them were growing up. There's been no proof or coboration offered that I'm aware of. It's obviously a difficult situation that I think most people here generally have avoided commenting on since there's no meaningful input we could give.
- ssnistfajen 3y agoHer allegations were not new information and were made as far back as 2021. So it makes little sense for the board to suddenly react to it now. Plus with Greg now posting his announcement of quitting OpenAI makes it seem unlikely to be about the sexual assault allegations.
- CSMastermind 3y agoAgreed that this is almost certainly unrelated, I was just sharing the context since they asked.
- heavyset_go 3y agoHere's a thread titled "Sam Altman's sister, Annie Altman, claims Sam has severely abused her"[1]. [1] https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/QDczBduZorG4dxZiW/sam-altman-s-sister-annie-altman-claims-sam-has-severely https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/QDczBduZorG4dxZiW/sam-altman...
