Sam Altman has been fired as CEO of OpenAI, the company announced on Friday.

“Mr. Altman’s departure follows a deliberative review process by the board, which concluded that he was not consistently candid in his communications with the board, hindering its ability to exercise its responsibilities,” the company said in its blog post.

If I had to guess, about how interested he was in keeping it non-profit in spirit. Which direction he believed in, I have no idea. I don't know him or the board. The statement sounds like the board is leaning toward non-profit behavior, but I don't believe a company who merely says "do no evil".
