wake up people! (said rhetorically, not accusatory or any other way)

This is Altman's playbook. He did a similar ousting at Reddit. This was planned all along to overturn the board. Ilya was in on it.

I'm not normally a conspiracy theorist. But fool me ... you can't be fooled again. As they say in Tennessee

Yishan (former Reddit CEO) describes how Altman orchestrated the removal of Reddit's owner: https://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/3cs78i/whats_the...

Note that the response is Altman's, and he seems to support it.

As additional context, Paul Graham has said a number of times that Altman is one of the most power-hungry and successful people he know (as praise). Paul Graham, who's met hundreds if not thousands of experienced leaders in tech, says this.
