I think at this point in time it is inevitable for OpenAI to turn for-profit due to the mind-boggling costs of building and maintaining cutting-edge AI systems. However, they should open-source their technology (in the same way that Tesla has done it before, and still kept its industry leader status in many sectors). I think moving towards open-source and maximizing transparency is the only way that can keep OpenAI reputable in the business. Having said that, OpenAI does not seem to want to do that, at least from what we have read in the news so far, and it seems even their definition of "AGI" is all about making profit: https://www.the79newsletter.com/p/openai-s-definition-of-agi-will-surprise-you https://www.the79newsletter.com/p/openai-s-definition-of-agi...
