Earlier quoted context omitted.

I don't know what press releases you've been reading, but the model is closed so they can make money off it, that's pretty obvious.

Seems like it would make sense for that to be the real reason, and the safety concerns to be a convenient scapegoat, although from talking with several people who work at OpenAI, they really do seem to believe the safety/alignment issue deep in their bones. I could almost be led to believe that the massive business advantage of keeping it closed is a happy side effect for them and not the actual reason.

The employees are usually they are "in on the message". All you have to do is get your employees to believe the message. This is easy when the company is growing exponentially. CEO's word is gospel.
