I appreciate this argument, but I also think naked profit seeking is the cause of a lot of problems in our economy and there are qualities that are hard to quantify when you structure the organization around it. Blindly following the economic argument can also cause problems, and it's a big reason why American corporate culture moved away from building a good product first towards maximizing shareholder value. The OpenAI board certainly seems capricious and impulsive given this decision though.
- lapphi 3y agoOn board with this. Arguing that a for-profit is somehow the moral position over a non-profit because money is tangible while the idea of doing good is not well-defined.. feels like something a Rockefeller owned newspaper from the Industrial Revolution would have printed.
