If they want to be for-profit because that's how they get the investment to build GPT-4, fine, do it from the start. That doesn't justify the switch.

- meowface 2y agoIt certainly would've been better, but they made OpenAI years before even GPT-1. They didn't realize how much money they'd need to scale the model or how insufficient donations would be. I think the world is much better off with them having switched the structure vs. throwing their hands in the air and giving up because they were stuck as a non-profit forever.
- tasuki 2y agoThere was no "switch". It's a parent non-profit owning the for profit corporation. The for profit part is fine, but how is the non-profit currently fulfilling any of its mission?
