Sam Altman, the famed head of OpenAI seems to have been fired.

Mr. Altman’s departure follows a deliberative review process by the board, which concluded that he was not consistently candid in his communications with the board, hindering its ability to exercise its responsibilities.

The reason given seems so generic and vague that it feels like it’s either concealing some unspeakable sin, or that the AI has already escaped and chatGPT 5 is outputting its concept of a bland corporate press release in order to cover up what it actually did to its creator.
