Just like you can’t call your company “organic candies” and sell chemical candies OpenAI should be banned from using this name.

- JumpCrisscross 2y ago> you can’t call your company “organic candies” and sell chemical candies Of course you can. You can't put "organic" on the packaging. But it's perfectly legal for Organic Candies, LLC to sell artifical candies or battleships for that matter. The "hot" take around OpenAI's name is a joke gone stale. We don't expect royalty at Burger King. Nobody gets upset Adobe won't sell you mud bricks. And Apple has never sold a fruit. Sometimes companies change their names when their trade changes, e.g. 3M. But there is no obligation to, particularly if the brand is well known.
- mirekrusin 2y agoBurger King didn’t start with royalty. Adobe didn’t start as clay producer. Apple didn’t start as fruit selling company. Open in their name was not randomly chosen to sound fun, it’s a reference to well known concept. It’s “young democrats” becoming far right but keeping their original name.
- JumpCrisscross 2y ago> Open in their name was not randomly chosen to sound fun, it’s a reference to well known concept Nobody has ever agreed on what open means for LLMs. OpenAI wasn't founded with any specific intent around openness, just with vague hand gestures towards a research orientation. And as to the origin hypothesis, consider General Electric, Southwest Airlines or AT&T. (Or Burger King serving things that aren't burgers.) Again, the OpenAI name quip was a joke that some people took too seriously.
