There's a reason OpenAI's charter had this clause:
“We are concerned about late-stage AGI development becoming a competitive race without time for adequate safety precautions. Therefore, if a value-aligned, safety-conscious project comes close to building AGI before we do, we commit to stop competing with and start assisting this project. We will work out specifics in case-by-case agreements, but a typical triggering condition might be “a better-than-even chance of success in the next two years.””
> Remember when openAI stood for opensource?
I surely don't, but maybe I missed it, can you show me?

Neither mention anything about open-source, although a later update mentions publishing work (“whether as papers, blog posts, or code”), which isn't exactly a ringing endorsement of “everything will be open-source” as a fundamental principle of the organization.
