So... not entirely joking: at what point do we declare that "OpenAI" the non-profit was basically a scam? It's clear it isn't now what it originally presented itself to be, and it's increasingly looking like it was never meant to be. The public-face of an open non-profit was, what, just a recruiting tool to be able to hire folks who otherwise wouldn't want to leave academia?

I think it was a classic bait and switch for the academics working there. You were able to publish everything, which is what academics want, until they came up with the safety nonsense and closed everything up.

There's a Musk court case about that coming along.
