Would be just terrible if one of those disillusioned employees leaked their source code

In the context of what we know about AI and the fact that its nowhere near intelligent, this reads like kids throwing sand at eachother because one sabatoged the trashcan rocket they were flying to the moon to stop doctor doom. The idea that he was fired because they were getting too close to AGI too quickly rests on the presumption thats possible in the first place, for which no evidence has ever been presented; alternative theory, he was fired for being a literal scammer that tried to weaponize his influence to get his own monopoly legislated, he was a walking talking insult to any marginally honest person working there.

And now they want him back, already.
What a circus.

Outing him as a "lier" and then saying there was no malfeasance. Ilya Sutskever leads a Russian style coup, "Gorbachev resining due to the state of his health". Reminds me of Andrey Ternovskiy, the founder of ChatRoulette. The growth was exponential and it was a cool idea, but the Silicon Valley concluded that it was impossible to deal with the founder, it was left without funding and eventually withered.
There is always the possibility this is a PR stunt? I mean i for one seem to not trust Sam / OpenAI. No offence.
