kevinnbass · x · 2026-10-17
A recap of how OpenAI's board layer held up: Open Philanthropy's 2017 $30M grant page said Holden Karnofsky would join OpenAI's board to oversee safety and governance; on 17 Nov 2023 the board concluded Sam Altman 'was not consistently candid' and announced his departure; five days later he returned with a new initial board on which only Adam D'Angelo remained of the other four directors.
