I agree. The pretense that OpenAI is still an open or a nonprofit has been a farce for a while now, it is an aggressively for-profit, trying to be the next Google company, and everybody knows it.

Clearly people in the non-profit part are trying to bring the organization back to its non-profit origins - after Altman effectively high jacked their agenda and corporatized the organization for his own benefit; turning its name into a meme.

It's possible that it's already too late to course correct the organization. We'll know for sure if/when Altman gets reinstated.

If he's reinstated, then that's it, AI will be used to screw us plebs for sure (fastest path to evil domination).

If he's not reinstated, then it would appear the board acted in the nick of time. For now.

If they actually care about that part they'd instantly open source gpt4. Wouldn't matter what altman does after that point then
