OpenAI is just trying to make a buck. Just like most other programmers, they don't give a damn about how damaging their code is going to be.

- minimaxir 8y agoOpenAI is literally a non-profit.
- nightski 8y agoNot saying I agree with the parent but while OpenAI is non-profit it's owned by billionaires whose companies directly benefit from their research.
- sterlind 8y agoPerhaps they kept it closed source because they sold it to one of those companies? Non-profits are allowed to sell things, after all.
- vokep 8y agoDo you think that means they don't get paid? Non-profit itself isn't a super meaningful term as far as if profits are being made or not. To be a non-profit, many hoops have to be jumped through, certain forms of profit have to be zero (I don't know the specifics, but a friend of mine was considering starting a non-profit at one point) but the employees are still paid.
- peterwwillis 8y agoYou can literally make millions of dollars working for non-profits. The highest paid CEOs make several million dollars per year and the biggest non-profits have annual budgets in the billions. The annual revenue from all non-profits in the US is in the trillions.
