And so they were like, we can arrange interviews for you.

You can come back to the office.

We'll set up some conversations.

And then as we were going back and forth on this, the board fires Sam Altman.

And that's when things started going kind of south because the company started becoming very sensitive to scrutiny.

And so then they started pushing, kicking the can down the road, down the road, down the road.

And I kept saying, hey, when are we rescheduling this?

What's going on?

And then I get an email saying,

We are not going to participate at all.

You are not coming to the office.

You're not doing interviews.

And I had actually already booked my tickets.

So I was already going to fly to San Francisco to have the interviews.

And so then I told them, I was like, that's fine.

I will still engage in the process while I give you extensive requests for comment.

As through my reporting, I'll keep you updated on all the things that I'm finding so that you can choose to still comment.

I gave them 40 pages of requests for comment, and I gave them over a month to respond to all of that.

So this was when the tweet came out, was we were doing all this back and forth, trying to, and that's when Altman tweeted this.

And they never responded to a single one of the 40 pages.
