Cool story, my own tinfoil hat idea is that it was a deliberate move by the board including Altman to kill the company but largely saving their own faces.
They have said before destroying the company would be in line with their goal, to create safe ago to benefit all of humanity.
Its not unthinkable they discovered something new and decided it needed to slow down really fast to make it safe. They cant just publicly trow in the towel so Ilya known for rather eccentric behaviors takes the main blame, knowing full well that as long as Altman has a job, so will he.
The results is Altman and his openai team shift to producing ai chips with microsoft and the remainder of openai evolves into some kind of app store for gpt4 powered apps
Training of gpt5 will fail, as in the board already pulled the plug but cant say that to the new CEO, in the mean time the stuff they learned has been collected and written down for the nearfuture.
