Fired lab CEO's spy case "falling apart": X users question due process, invoke Altman precedent

bookwormengr · x · 2026-11-13

Questioning a frontier AI lab's board for firing its CEO over spy allegations before any conclusive investigation, user bookwormengr argues:

The spy case is already "falling apart"; action should wait for findings.
Remote access likely happened, and blocking it is reasonable — but it remains legal today, at worst a grey area frontier labs are familiar with.
He sarcastically contrasts "innocent until proven guilty" with the board's move: "Imagine a frontier lab CEO fired without proper investigation & reason. Last time it happened, almost everyone on X supported the CEO" — a clear nod to the 2023 Altman episode.

The post captures the community's due-process debate over the firing and the growing Altman-parallel narrative.
