One theory is it's Sam Altman's way of wresting control away from the non-profit through diluting the shares.

It's not like he hasn't done such things before.

Sama seems disinclined to follow the straight and true. Apparently he can’t get what he wants without re-routing his partner’s buy-in buttons. Could he have founded OpenAI without all this drama? Was there no way to raise the money he needs without all the smoke and mirrors?

I’m a fan of the ChatGPT product but he feels like a David Mamet creation.
