I'm actually getting tired of this whole story, jeez.

they had an interim CEO: why exactly do they need a new interim CEO? it's been a couple of weekend days, zero business days. Not taking sides, none of this makes any sense, so much drama.

hypothesis: there's too much money on the table, and inasmuch as some people care more about the public welfare than money, too much of that too (meaning, a lot of money in something usually means it's something important, something of value, and therefore not all bad; so this is all just people trying to steer things the way they want them to go rather than the way other people want them to go)

The other interim ceo turned on the board and supported Sam I think.

This just makes the board seem very incompetent TBH, why select a CEO that is not aligned with the board?

The former interim CEO was the CTO, and she (along with investors) was trying to get Altman back.

By selecting Shear as the new interim CEO, the board signaled they weren't interested in Altman coming back.

It's the nerd version of keeping up with the kardashians.
