Claims from this post (3)
In the order they appear in the post. Each quotation is the speaker’s words in this post. A label such as “Supported” or “Can’t be checked” is the claim’s current assessment; its page has the evidence and the reasons.
Assessment: SupportedSaid
“and then, perhaps in keeping with my surmise that Sam’s bluff was called, negotiations broke down altogether.”
What we tested: Negotiations (over Sam Altman's return to OpenAI) broke down altogether, which Marcus says is perhaps in keeping with his surmise that Altman's bluff was called.
What happened: The report directly supports the failure of the negotiations at the Sunday-night leadership transition. It does not establish the proposed bluff explanation. (TIME, )
Assessment: Can’t be checkedSaid
“The $86B secondary sale to Thrive is presumably unlikely to close.”
What we tested: The secondary share sale of OpenAI to Thrive at an $86B valuation is presumably unlikely to close.
Assessment: Can’t be checkedSaid
“Probably a lot of employees will leave.”
What we tested: A lot of OpenAI employees will probably leave following the breakdown of negotiations to reinstate Sam Altman.
Held from this post (1)
These records did not pass every check, so nothing about them is published. Held is not a finding.
- The criteria are ambiguous. Our reading, not assessed: Sam Altman is out of OpenAI, Greg Brockman presumably is too, and Mira Murati is no longer interim CEO.
