    I imagine this is about financial chicanery or sex pesting but the funniest outcome would be if they just replaced him with ChatGPT to save money. If there’s any job a chatbot can do today, it’s CEO.

          That was my guess. I can imagine a situation where he was deliberately understating or obfuscating how vulnerable they were in that regard, or else simply overconfident they were legally in the clear.

    This is a turning point that could be either really good or bad, depending on who you ask. Senior developers also left due to the news.

    The reasons are probably fairly boring but it’d be kinda funny if they hit AGI and now everyone is in freakout mode behind the scenes.

      Silicon Valley referred to Steve Jobs beings fired and rehired by Apple. Now this is like Silicon Valley. “It all rhymes.”

    Awful lot of comments here pretending he didn’t rape his sister. I wonder why.

    Edit: I love that the replies I’m getting literally prove my point. Real repulsive shit.

      There was a series of three tweets and no follow-up. I wouldn’t necessarily assert it so strongly.

      Because its both irrelevant to the topic (unless that’s the reason he was fired, which I doubt) and a mere allegation. Innocent until proven guilty.
