Or (3), shut down the company. OpenAI's non-profit board had this power! They weren't an advisory committee, they were the legal and rightful owner of its for-profit subsidiary. They had the right to do what they wanted, and people forgetting to put a fucking quorum requirement into the bylaws is beyond abysmal for a $10+ billion investment.

Nobody comes out of this looking good. Nobody. If the board thought there was existential risk, they should have been willing to commit to it. Hopefully sensible start-ups can lure people away from their PPUs, now evident for the mockery they always were. It's beyond obvious this isn't, and will never be, a trillion dollar company. That's the only hope this $80+ billion Betamax valuation rested on.

I'm all for a comedy. But this was a waste of everyones' time. At least they could have done it in private.
