People who were wrong and change their minds should be punished less, not more, than those who persist in being wrong. The rest of the board is holding firm and preventing the problem from being resolved, so they are more culpable than Ilya.

There's nothing admirable about jumping off a sinking ship that you put the holes in. At this stage it's on him to clear his name.

Has Ilya left OpenAI? Not to my knowledge.

This is more like a guy apologizing for the holes and actively trying to fix the ship. Which is absolutely worth something, even if no holes would still be better.

After seemingly being the front man in the firing of Altman he supposedly has put his name on the internal letter to reverse course, fire the board, and reinstate Altman.

Ilya signed the "reinstate Altman or we're leaving" letter.
