Part 3/13:
Emerging information indicates that D’Angelo’s sudden opposition to Sam Altman was motivated by a financial conflict rather than purely strategic or safety concerns. OpenAI’s rapid rollout of GPT-based products, including ChatGPT, effectively undermined D’Angelo’s Personal Operating (PO) project—an initiative unrelated to OpenAI’s core mission.
It’s alleged that D’Angelo accused Altman of “not being candid” about upcoming product launches—implying a breach of trust. The suspicion is that D’Angelo possibly attempted to sabotage Altman and OpenAI to protect his own project, which was impacted negatively by OpenAI’s recent product releases.
