Description

We finally know what Ilya Sutskever saw, and why OpenAI’s chief scientist moved to oust Sam Altman. We unpack the newly released 52-page deposition: a year of plotting with Mira Murati, the board’s shock decision, and the near-walkout of 700 employees. Then we break down Sam’s $1.4T compute spree, that fiery BG2 exchange, and the only paths that might pay for it (ads? devices? an “AI cloud”?). If you care where AGI, OpenAI’s rumored IPO, and your data are headed, hit play.
