to quote the "Introducing OpenAI" article from 2015, dec 11:
"OpenAI is a non-profit artificial intelligence research company. Our goal is to advance digital intelligence in the way that is most likely to benefit humanity as a whole, unconstrained by a need to generate financial return. Since our research is free from financial obligations, we can better focus on a positive human impact."

- krisoft 4y agook, so? The mentioned things are strategic blunders if their goal is to maximise profit (maybe). If they have some other goal, they might not be blunders. In fact they might be on track with what they want to achieve. The legal form of the corporate structure is not the deciding factor here. What are their goals is.
