I have made a text submission instead with an added piece of information. Hope that's ok?

You should find reporting that's accessible, you're still effectively posting a hard paywalled link.

The other thing is that there are currently five stories about OpenAI events on the FP which is a few too many as it is - you're probably better off posting updates and your commentary there.

Sorry for the belated reply - pvg is correct - that's still a paywalled submission, and users aren't supposed to submit links in text posts like that (this is in the FAQ: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsfaq.html). I appreciate that you were trying to be helpful!

This is one of those unfortunate cases where HN's rules conflict (one, that we want original sources; the other, that we don't want hardwalled URLs). In such a case we have to compromise. The best compromise seems to be to find a readable article that contains the significant information from the original report.

Aleksander in particular is deeply invested in AI safety as a mission. It's a very confusing departure, since most of the reporting so far indicates that Ilya and the board fired Sam to prioritize safety and non-profit objectives. A huge loss for OpenAI nonetheless.
