Don't forget the board coup, the coup-reversal, complete takeover, then co-founders leaving, and Mira leaving

Yes, all of that definitely plays into the sense that not all is well at OpenAI.

Slight nit: a board can't start a coup because a coup is an illegitimate attempt to take power and the board's main job is to oversee the CEO and replace them if necessary. That's an expected exercise of power.

The coup was when the CEO reversed the board's decision to oust him and then ousted them.
