People pattern match way too much on the name of the company. Does Google really have a googol pages in its index? Their principles are stated fairly clearly, and to the extent that ‘Open’ is semantically meaningful, it's along the lines of ‘open benefit of AGI, rather than monopolized central control’, not ‘open source versions of present-day AI systems’. > OpenAI’s mission is to ensure that artificial general intelligence (AGI)—by which we mean highly autonomous systems that outperform humans at most economically valuable work—benefits all of humanity. We will attempt to directly build safe and beneficial AGI, but will also consider our mission fulfilled if our work aids others to achieve this outcome. and > Our primary fiduciary duty is to humanity. We anticipate needing to marshal substantial resources to fulfill our mission, but will always diligently act to minimize conflicts of interest among our employees and stakeholders that could compromise broad benefit. https://openai.com/charter/ https://openai.com/charter/
