Altman has been known in this community for years due to him being YC president previously. Only ML researchers know Ilya really.

But I agree. Karma seems to have caught up to Sam who stole money from original funders to turn a non-profit into a for-profit.

Yeah I obviously don't have enough context here to take a side, but if I was forced to do so I'd pick Ilya over Altman. Curious what other people are seeing that's making them think Altman is a martyr and the board members are dumb.
