OpenAI employees put knives on their own necks to demand Altman to get back and be their boss [1], not too long ago, right? Altman wiggles his tongues and makes them a solid paycheck. "We will not be divided," unless the water boils slow enough. Wait for a few months, he will renegotiate the terms with DoD, just like his move to turn OpenAI into a for-profit.

Maybe he just wants power? Some people are just evil and don't need greed to fuel their evil ways.

even marvel villain thanos was given a plausible motivation.

i don’t think if you actually knew him as a person you’d think this was a reasonable perception.
