    I hope I read this situation right that OpenAI is trying to avoid getting dragged further into the for-profit corporate machinery. In the light of all the ClosedAI memes, I’m so confused why the majority seems to cheer for Sam. He’s the guy that turns startups into billion dollar companies.

      Because the alternative is that you’ll never see the models they develop. You’ll hear about it in the news once something goes wrong if ever.

        I don’t see how the for-profit goals align with being better for everyone. The publicly available models seem to be at least 6 months behind the latest developments, and how they’re built is a complete secret. The public doesn’t get to see anything and it’s accelerating who knows where behind the scenes.

        I see how what the board did was terrible, because it was seemingly just destructive with no way back. The board being wrong doesn’t mean Sam is some kind of savior. I don’t see how Sam’s actions/direction are pro-humanity over just a game about controlling whatever is at the other end of this.

      Yeah it’s sad. It’s just revealed that most people are firmly stuck in the narrow minded venture capitalist induced mindset of startup success means highest validation possible. When literally the reason all this happened was to assert that that is not what openAI was meant to be
