Mr. Altman’s departure follows a deliberative review process by the board, which concluded that he was not consistently candid in his communications with the board, hindering its ability to exercise its responsibilities. The board no longer has confidence in his ability to continue leading OpenAI.

That's wild. Given the abruptness and his profile, I was thinking it must be an improper conduct investigation. But either way, I hope we get more details.
