Unless she was the one who blew the whistle on him. Here's a hypothetical scenario:

- New feature/product/etc. launch is planned.

- Murati warns Altman that it's not ready yet and there are still security and privacy issues that need to be worked out.

- Altman ignores her warnings, launches anyway.

- Murati blows the whistle on him to the board, tells them that he ordered the launch over her objections.

- Data breach happens. Altman attempts to cover it up. Murati blows the whistle again.

- Board fires Altman, gives Murati the job as it's clear from her whistleblowing that she has the ethics for it at least.

Again, completely hypothetical scenario, but it's one possible explanation for how this could happen.



or it's the other way around. she wants to launch because money and investors and that's all that she's really about.

he says fuck them and their money, it's not ready yet, here's a bunch of other things that will make people go wooooow.

she's not happy he does that because future. convinces the board of money and investors.

the board shits on humanity and goes for money and investors.


“Do a hugely public firing because a feature wasn’t launched” would probably be a first
