Submission statement: OpenAI recently did an AMA about GPT-5. A [Redditor asked for transparency on their recent attempt to ~~steal billions~~](https://www.reddit.com/r/ChatGPT/comments/1mkae1l/comment/n7i5wk4/) restructure from a nonprofit to a for profit.
In unsurprising news, they didn’t respond.
Calling themselves “Open”AI really is ironic.
What’s with the weird capitalization in the title. I had to reread this to fully understand.
Maybe you should have compared the money OpenAI is making to the money OpenAI is spending before posting this.
You know, businesses don’t just collect money. They also spend.
*The money it’s raising.
They’re still not making any real money.
How much longer are we going to pretend to be surprised that OpenAI is not a non-profit org?
They now have a lot of investors who would naturally demand ROI on their investments.
Who in the world was suckered by that in the first place? You think the libertarian tech bros care about the future of humanity? Especially the ones making a technology to replace humans?
What money? The 10b in losses they are projecting to have this year?
it was pretending when it was positioning to rip off your IP.. then boom closed.
That got old the minute millions of people started paying for it. It won’t come back.
Wait till you learn about Sam Altman’s sister’s lawsuit against him.
It was always a lie meant to generate good will and make people comfortable with ethical issues surrounding OpenAI.
Just wait till they start charging upwards of 200-300 a month to keep your AI “friends” “alive”.
And if the AI was any good, it would be the thing actually making money rather than, as per the OpenAI CEO’s official statements – even their most expensive tier making an operational loss.
Seriously, if the AI was any good… why isn’t it creating things and buying things and selling things itself?
