But if the board seems to be doing everything they can to make sure that longterm OpenAI wouldn’t be able to execute anything in their charter in a meaningful way (assuming they end up being left behind technologically and not that relevant

Of course they can only achieve their mission with funding from for profit corporations and their actions have possibly jeopardized that

Yet they need massive investment from Microsoft to accomplish that? > restoration Wouldn’t that mean that over the longterm they will just be outcompeted by the profit seeking entities. It’s not like OpenAI is self sustainable (or even c

> Get rid of Microsoft… Which is going to be hard considering they promised MS a 49% stake in OpenAI. Which is something AMD/Nvidia will have to take in to account before agreeing to any partnership.

What can you promise any other investors when you’ve already agree to give MS 75% all of your net income pretty much indefinitely and 49% of your shares?

> put money into a truly open research lab given OpenAI’s track record. Why? It’s hard to imagine anyone putting any significant amounts of money (in comparison to the MS deal anyway) without any exclusivity rights at least

You can still easily buy/sell stocks in the after hours market until 8PM ET or even 24/6 if you want to
