The firing and subsequent rehire/board change was clearly orchestrated in a way to benefit Altman and Microsoft. I don't have the hate boner for Microsoft that most Lemmy users have, but it's not a particularly great sign of a healthy tech company your "owner" feels the need to pull a stunt like this.

Yea I wasn’t trying to channel any particular Microsoft hate. You could probably sub any of the big tech companies in. Either way it’s a massive for-profit to the point of pushing the lines of monopolism.
