"But Altman would be a good source."

No he wouldn't. This is the definition of a biased source. I am sure he would provide a totally unbiased view of why his own Board found it necessary to suddenly take him out completely of his own company when he is THE public face of a massively growing industry.

This space is so incestuous and protecting of its own at its own expense. Good grief.

Did the sentence "He surely knows high up people at OpenAI and may have talked to them." not clue you into the joke?

Unbiased? That's such a ridiculous thing to type. You think someone intimately involved and leaking information to the press is going to be unbiased? Crazy.

Swisher is reporting what her sources say - not writing an encyclopedia article. Sam would've been a good source - even if a biased one. Looks like it was true by the way, even if Sam was her source.

Still very confused as to how you could think "unbiased" would even be a possible qualification for a source here much less a necessary one. Just curious - do you think news articles are unbiased too?
