LOL. One board member is in the CIA "milieu" because of her college major, another has a husband who played Edward Snowden, and they both "presumably" voted to oust Sam Altman. With that kind of rock-solid fact pattern, you just know the reasoning is going to be airtight.
Either way, this means that the EAs on the board, who both presumably voted to oust Sam Altman as CEO, are adjacent to the US intelligence community, and/or its critics, many of whom are intelligence veterans anyway.
E: I recalled I noticed the 'Helen is CIA' thing before, and checked, different commenter.. Anyway im happy the CIA is taking this seriously, and im not just saying that because im a secret AIVD spy.
This seems like abnormal paranoia even for LW, maybe they're getting worse. I really do they don't drive too many people nuts with anxiety :<. Fun as it is to poke at them, cults are depressing things.
But jokes aside, while it is very unlikely it isn't totally impossible that some spooks are doing things. Iirc during the end of the 90's the AIVD was hacked and it was revealed that they had a few informants inside the Dutch hacker scene/universites, at least that is a store I heard. Of course an informant will not have 'works for CIA' on their resume.
