"Completely different"? All of the new values listed are practically synonyms of the former (with the exception of the "AGI focus" addition).

agree with this. in their new values, they literally use the same words that were in the old ones ("unpretentious", "collaboration"). I also dont think this is a change "at the drop of a hat" as the article suggests - OpenAI's been through a major inflection point with GPT3.5/4, and the company's not the same one it was a few years ago. It makes sense to make updates to the company's core values

Also as the organization grows, some things have to explicitly spelled out.

If me and best friends start a company, we can get by "Let's do good" and we all know what that means. In an organization with 1000 spread across the globe, that doesn't cut it and good needs to be explicitly spelled out
