Sam Altman: Means Used Previously Were Too Aggressive

Sam Altman tweeted:

I have learned a lot from this experience. When I believed that certain actions of a former board member would harm OpenAI, I should have handled the situation at the time more elegantly and thoughtfully. I apologize for this, and I hope I can do things differently. I expect all participants to sincerely believe that achieving AGI correctly is crucial.
