    ploy
    /ploi/
    noun
    a cunning plan or action designed to turn a situation to one’s own advantage.

    Except for the cunning part it seems to be a pretty good description.

      There’s no way the board members tarnished their reputations and lost their jobs so they could get attention for a company they no longer work for and don’t have a stake in. That’s just silly.

        I don’t think the firing was a ploy, but I do think the retroactive justification of ‘we were building a model so powerful it scared us’ is a ploy to drum up hype. Just like all the other times they’ve said the same thing.
