interesting back door way to get sam altman some equity in openAI.

I wonder how much of this is downstream from them not being able to convert to a for profit and giving sam a slug of equity



How does that work?


The company oAI is acquiring is owned by Sam Altman and Johnny Iive


That has to be some kind of corporate money laundering, or highly illegal. The board should fire Altman if this is true and get out of this purchase.


Yes that worked so well the last time ha.


Is that legal?

How is Sam Altman doing so much self dealing while being an OpenAI exec?
