But they didn’t hit the panic button. They said Sam lied to them about something and fired him.

According to this article Sam has been telling the board that this new advance is not AGI and not anything to worry about (so they can keep selling it to MSFT), then the researchers involved went behind Sam's back and reported to the board directly, claiming that they'd created something that could-maybe-be AGI and it needs to be locked down.

That's the claim at least.

If that research team is unwanted at OpenAI, I know places they can go with coworkers writing to their boss’s boss.
