   Wow, Sam Altman out at OpenAI. They straight up fired him.

   "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 board no longer has confidence in his ability to continue leading OpenAI."

     On the same day that we get the story about him asking what AI needs in order for it to become a physics discovery engine.

     Got a little too close to disrupting Big Physics, we had to put the clamps on him.

     @michael_w_busch Right? And what did he have to do for them to describe it that way? A real press release euphemism hall-of-famer.

     @mcnees Just what Altman do to be fired by the people involved "OpenAI"?

     Since fraud and wholesale theft is their entire business model.
