- simonw 8mo agoThey're a Public Benefit Corporation but not a non-profit, which means they don't have to file those kinds of documents publicly like 501(c)(3)s do. I asked Claude and it ran a search and dug up a copy of their certificate of incorporation in a random Google Drive: https://drive.google.com/file/d/17szwAHptolxaQcmrSZL_uuYn5p-N6pex/view https://drive.google.com/file/d/17szwAHptolxaQcmrSZL_uuYn5p-... It says "The specific public benefit that the Corporation will promote is to responsibly develop and maintain advanced AI for the long term benefit of humanity." There are other versions in https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1ImqXYv9_H2FTNAujZfu3EPtYFD4xIlHJ https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1ImqXYv9_H2FTNAujZfu3... - as far as I can tell they all have exactly the same text for that bit with the exception of the first one from 2021 which says: "The specific public benefit that the Corporation will promote is to responsibly develop and maintain advanced Al for the cultural, social and technological improvement of humanity."
