Parallels to Twitter pre-Musk. Altman has been controversial since his days (literally) as Reddit CEO. Yishan had some thoughts on X about the shake up at OpenAI and how they relate to Sam (and Microsoft).

The capital class prefers hungry young sociopaths with flexible morals. I don't know Sam, so I can't say that he's a sociopath, but he certainly is hungry and the morals seem flexible.

What’s this about him being CEO of Reddit? I’m not seeing that anywhere.

Well, there was also the opaque manner in which he overnight departed YC, too.
