This is like getting wasted and breaking up with someone because they weren't a hit at the holiday party, then realizing you were the problem, and trying to apologize your way back into the relationship.
I honestly think the board had a second to think and said "Oh, shit...he's not really good at anything, but we're still running the OSS version of all this shit with minor changes, and he's just going to flip that into a competing company and fuck us over."
Duh. This turd is the only reason it's a for-profit company now, and he knows it's worth next to nothing in a year.
I really hope he doesn't go back so we can see it play out like you describe. Love seeing asshats like these get their due.
Or maybe he comes back for gobs more compensation while still developing/contributing to a competitor. I'm sure there are ways around non-competes.
Or just Altman and the other folks startup their own and bury these idiots. Gonna be fun to watch.
