I think the point that Toner & McCauley are conflicted because of OpenPhil/Holden’s connections to Anthropic is a pretty weak argument. But the facts are all verified & pretty basic.
A number of things stand out:
lots of turnover
some turnover for unclear reasons
Adam D’Angelo has a clear conflict of interest
I’m also very curious if anyone knows more how McCauley came on the board? And generally more information about her. I hadn’t heard of her before and she’s apparently an important player now (also in EA as EV UK board member).
There’s a decent history of the board changes in OpenAI here: https://loeber.substack.com/p/a-timeline-of-the-openai-board
