Kevin Roos和Casey Newton对OpenAI董事会解雇Sam Altman事件进行了回顾，讨论了事件的来龙去脉、员工反应、微软的介入以及Sam Altman最终回归但离开董事会的结果。他们分析了事件中存在的不确定性和未解之谜，指出该事件并非单纯源于对AI安全性的担忧，而是与公司治理和领导层权力斗争有关。他们还预测了事件的后续影响，认为OpenAI将面临内部信任重建的挑战，同时其他AI公司将伺机而动，争夺OpenAI的客户和市场份额。 Casey Newton对OpenAI董事会解雇Sam Altman的决定进行了深入分析，认为该决定过于仓促，缺乏周全考虑，并且没有明确说明解雇的原因。她指出，这导致了公司内部的混乱和员工的抗议。她还驳斥了关于Q*项目导致董事会解雇Sam Altman的说法，并强调该事件并非单纯的安全与速度之争，而是与公司治理和领导层权力斗争有关。她认为，OpenAI的内部斗争尚未结束，未来可能还会有更多发展。
