A board firing a CEO is a pretty normal thing to happen, and it was very unclear that the firing had anything to do with safety concerns because the board communicated so little.
A big company voluntarily shutting down because its product is too dangerous is (1) a much clearer message and (2) completely unprecedented, as far as I know.
In my ideal world, the company would be very explicit that they are shutting down specifically because they are worried about AGI killing everyone.
Larger than the OpenAI board fiasco? I doubt it.
