Going to be a battalion of unhappy microsoft lawyers descending into San Fran on Monday
If you are having a bad day.
Just be glad you didn't lose a bet with $7000 in Crypto that Sam Altman would be brought in as CEO of #OpenAI

alternate Headline:
#OpenAI fires women on the board- (board chair who oversaw fuck up stays🤷♀️) - joining board is *Larry Summers* who once said women don’t have the same ‘intrinsic aptitude’ for STEM, and associated with Jeffrey Epstein even after he was convicted of sex offences, and keeps person credibly accused of child molestation and abuse of his younger sister
Of course OpenAI is awful, they are lead by awful people
"The tech industry’s cutthroat, ego-driven environment has a history of placing women into positions of leadership as the walls burn down from mistakes made by men."

This is admittedly very petty, but emotionally charged. People, like myself, who have ever lived in or near the great city of San Francisco do not call it "San Fran" or "Frisco". We call it by it's actual name, which is for Saint Francis, the patron Saint of the animal kingdom, or "The City".
@Kinnison That was some serious drama.
