## Quote — verbatim

> We all saw what happened when five people on OpenAI board can effectively control the most powerful AI in the world for however long — for a few days. That is scary because these are not elected officials, these are relatively unknown members. A private corporation can control such a powerful AI — imagine how fragile we are.

## Context — site annotation, not spoken

Referencing the November 2023 OpenAI board crisis; he adds there's zero transparency into how models are trained or who benefits.
