He reported that former OpenAI executives Ilya Sutskever and Mira Murati, and former board members Helen Toner and Tasha McCauley, all testified that Altman had lied to them.

Altman, who was sitting behind his lawyers, looked uneasily every time his name was mentioned.

Did Altman promise to keep OpenAI a nonprofit?
