Greg Brockman described the 72-hour sequence after Sam Altman's November 17, 2023 firing, including his resignation and the Phoenix backup plan, in the Knowledge Project Podcast episode released via fs.blog. Brockman cited the original Napa offsite three-step plan and the shift from nonprofit structure as foundational, referencing the board call timing and Ilya Sutskever's tweet as turning points (fs.blog/knowledge-project-podcast/greg-brockman/). OpenAI's internal code generation by AI and compute access constraints were noted without percentages, aligning with contemporaneous reporting on the event from The New York Times (nytimes.com/2023/11/17/technology/openai-sam-altman-board.html) and Reuters coverage of employee responses (reuters.com/technology/openai-staff-threaten-quit-2023-11-20/). Fragile governance structures at AI labs remain documented through primary accounts of the same period.
