"I'm much more interested in how Helen managed to get on this board at all."

Indeed. This is far more interesting. How the hell did Helen and Tasha get on, and stay on, the board.

Helen Toner through her association with Open Philanthropy donated $30 Million dollars to OpenAI early on. That's how she got on the board.

This makes it sound like it was her money, which is not the case. She worked for an organization that donated $30M and they put her on the board.
