> Yes, Sam Altman was indeed fired from Y Combinator (YC). The decision to remove him from his position as CEO was made due to long-standing patterns of behavior1. Former OpenAI board member Helen Toner accused Altman of lying to and obstructing OpenAI’s board, as well as retaliating against those who criticized him. She also mentioned that Altman created a “toxic atmosphere” within the company2. Interestingly, Altman had previously been affiliated with YC but was later reported to have been fired from YC and even appointed himself chairman without authorization3. It seems his behavior led to significant consequences in both organizations.
Not sure what to think, Lucy in the sky with diamonds?
