We were blessed (cursed?) with the mother of all startup drama this week when Sam Altman was ousted from the top of multi-billion-dollar startup OpenAI. How do we know there was dramaaaa? Even Vanity Fair piled in. Look, I haven’t been in any of the OpenAI board meetings, so God knows what went on in there.
