Going off the idea that the seniors are quitting in protest of the firing: imagine meeting Sam Altman and thinking: this is my king. I will follow him into the breach. I will fall onto my sword for this doomsday-prepping weasel.

Does the article say more than just the initial part? I'm hitting a sub/paywall. And archive.is didn't seem to work.
