  1. Assessment: Can’t be checkedSaid

    “They may well get their way.”

    What we tested: OpenAI's investors may well succeed in getting the board to resign and bringing Sam Altman back.

  2. Assessment: SupportedSaid

    “We pretty obviously don’t have a say.”

    What we tested: The public has no say in how OpenAI's governance crisis is resolved, including its implications for safety and humanity.

    What happened: The article describes exclusive director election and removal rights and board control over changes to those rules. This supports the inference that the public lacked a formal role; contemporaneous reporting is used because the available primary bylaws are an older filing. (WIRED, )
