This is the best summary I could come up with:
In response to Altman’s departure, members of the tech community are turning to X, formerly known as Twitter, to express their shock.
I was not expecting this atomic level bomb news today," Pietro Schirano, who claims to be a founder of an AI startup, wrote on X.
“I didn’t not see that coming,” Matt Wolfe, who describes himself as a “builder” of an AI tools website, wrote on X.
“Sam Altman is a hero of mine,” Eric Schmidt, the tech investor and former CEO of Google, wrote on X.
Other big voices in tech are speculating on why the board decided it no longer had confidence in Altman’s ability to lead the company.
“Like everyone, I have no idea the reason the board had for firing @sama this way and so suddenly,” tech journalist Kara Swisher wrote on X, speculating that the decision may’ve been personal or involve money.
The original article contains 412 words, the summary contains 149 words. Saved 64%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!
Somebody please teach the bot to just say Twitter instead of X, formerly known as Twitter. Will save 4 words
Let’s go with Xitter, for clarity.
I would rather it add words:
“X, formerly known as Twitter, which acts as demonstrable proof that Musk is an idiot, and should be taxed up to the hilt”
I also feel this should be done by every news outlet.
Somebody please make sure this bot keeps calling X ‘X, formerly known as twitter’. These words are too weighty to leave out
I just call it Twitter still. At least until they stop referring to themselves that way.

The original article contains 412 words, the summary contains 0 words. Saved Infinity%.
That doesn’t account for the fact that a picture is equal to 1000 words.
The summary is twice as long as the article. Shit algo.
(412 - 0)/412 * 100% = 100%

Give them a break, the math wasn’t mathing at the time of typing! Had to pull up my calculator and I confirm it’s working now.
Okay but counterpoint:
…
Idk no you’re right

This is se silicone valley level move, I hope Pied Piper had this coming their way
We need Silicon Valley more than ever today. There’s so much material…
“The tech world reacts in shock!”
The tech world’s reaction: 😐
Tech world: “who?”
Classic manufactured outrage!
The rumor I heard is that it’s all about the abuse allegations from his sister. I’d link to the Less Wrong post, but it borderline doxxes her so even though it’s supportive, it’s still out of line.
How many sisters does he have? If it’s less than 10 just saying it’s his sister will ‘borderline dox her’.
The article I read had links to each of her social media accounts which is kind of crossing a line when talking about allegations of abuse.
Nope. You don’t see the Chairman of the board/president and three senior researchers follow the CEO out of the CEO is being fired for sexual abuse.
Literally all of the actual leaks and reports coming out are that this was about a schism between the chief scientist and Altman.
No we’re not.
I mean, to be fair, we’re sort of the crazy uncle in the tech world that nobody actually wants to talk to because he always goes off on crazy rants
Is this one of the rants though?
No but did you know I use Graphene OS?
I use Temple OS!
