What's with the lowercase? I think it's cute if someone is being deliberately low-effort, or trying to present that way, but IMO it's cringe to use it for consequential official statements like this.

You have it backwards, the not for profit entity owns the for profit entity. From Wikipedia: > OpenAI is an American artificial intelligence (AI) organization consisting of the non-profit OpenAI, Inc.[4] registered in Delaware and its for-profit subsidiary corporation OpenAI Global, LLC.[5] IKEA [0] and Rolex [1] are structured in a similar manner, although different since they’re not US based.

What’s the point of the subsidiary? Nonprofits can already raise funds by e.g. selling T-Shirts, baked goods, ai services, etc…

There are now 4 people left in the OpenAI non-profit board, after the ouster of both Sam and Greg today. 3 of the 4 remaining are virtual unknowns, and they control the fate of OpenAI, both the non-profit and the for-profit. Insane.
I would say we're likely to see some governance and board composition changes made soon. Honestly, I would expect more from Microsoft's attorneys, whether this was overlooked or allowed. Maybe OAI had superior leverage and MS was desperate to get in to AI.
I guess they can't really migrate the users though. Maybe they will push more aggressively for people to use bing going forward.

#127I wonder if this is one of those pivotal moments in history where OpenAI collapses or fades and Google or someone else dominates the future of AI, and we’re all left wondering “what if”.

I understood it as there are additional and ongoing incidents and possible board was given hard evidence of such.
Are you willing to be more specific, or link to such a discussion?

Sounds perverse somehow.
