[Interviewer:] Was the dispute between Sam Altman and the board just a dispute between AI factions?
[Emmet Shear:] I said this publicly on Twitter. I don’t think there’s any significant difference between what Sam believes and what the board believes in terms of timelines, danger, or anything like that. I think it had nothing to do with that, personally.
