I wonder if Sam did something in the name of his own philosophy, but was financially suicide. Like vastly underestimating the costs of training/inferencing to the board, but justifying it to himself because it's all going towards building AGI and that's what matters. But them firing him also means that OpenAI's heavy hitters weren't that devoted to him either. Obviously otherwise they would all leave after him. Probably internal conflict, maybe between Ilya and Sam, with everyone else predictably being on Ilya's side.

Sounds like SBF What is the purpose of this 'AGI' again? Won't it just end up controlled by the military and cause problems for humanity if it's that amazing?

  Maybe I should clarify that I don't think it's all that matters, but that Sam might think that.
