Sam Altman has been fired as CEO of OpenAI, the company announced on Friday.

“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 company said in its blog post.

I thought it also had to do with him allegedly abusing his sister for decades?

Not according to any of the information currently coming out.

And it would be weird for the President to resign as well if the CEO was ousted for sexual abuse.
