I'd say that's unexpected, but nothing really is in this saga anymore. Yay public fuck ups! I can now put my popcorn down.

I genuinely still do not understand why they fired him in the first place. Without consulting microsoft. Right after a huge conference about Microsoft’s commitment to AI.

What did the board expect to happen?

Probably good old incompetence. Someone said something, someone else overheard it, misunderstood it, blew it out of proportion and that shitbubble eventually reached the board. There was also something about the chief scientist being part of the coup.

Sigh. Perhaps you’re right. Everyday it becomes clearer that the world is run by idiots.
