Prompt: Create a PR smokescreen in 3 paragraphs with as little facts as possible.

Paragraph 1: Our company has recently been at the center of some unfortunate rumors and false accusations. However, we want to assure our valued customers and shareholders that these claims are completely unfounded and without any merit.

Paragraph 2: We are proud of the work we do and the products we provide to our customers. We have always maintained the highest standards of integrity and transparency in our business practices.

Paragraph 3: We ask that the public not be swayed by the misinformation being spread by our detractors. We are confident that the truth will come out and our reputation will be cleared. In the meantime, we will continue to focus on delivering the best possible products and services to our customers.

It's been over 25 years. It's really time to let this one go.

> In pursuit of our mission to ensure advanced AI benefits all of humanity, OpenAI remains a capped-profit company and is governed by the OpenAI non-profit. This structure allows us to raise the capital we need to fulfill our mission without sacrificing our core beliefs about broadly sharing benefits and the need to prioritize safety. All this time, I was entirely unaware of this.

The cap is 100x, so assuming Microsoft is investing billions in a current valuation of $29 billion as rumoured, the cap will only really come into place once OpenAI becomes the most valuable company in the world.

Article about it here: https://techcrunch.com/2019/03/11/openai-shifts-from-nonprof...

> Profits emerging from the LP in excess of the 100x multiplier go to the nonprofit, which will use it to run educational programs and advocacy work.

> The board [of the non-profit] is limited to a minority of financially interested parties, and only non-interested members can vote on “decisions where the interests of limited partners and OpenAI Nonprofit’s mission may conflict”

Related (?): Is ChatGPT down at the moment? When I visit it, I am getting a poem about how it is over capacity. And that's it.

Is ChatGPT down at the moment? No, but ChatGPT is at full capacity which means that it will 'randomly' block new connections until load drops. Keep trying every 5 - 10 minutes and you'll eventually get in

You can also pay for the new premium subscription for $42/month

it seems to be constantly that way norwadays. I think they might give priority to paying API users, and of course by now there has been enough time for applications to implement chatgpt stuff.

I take this in the same vein as "Patagonia Founder Donates Company to Charity" and view it as a clever shell game.Mostly because Im cynical and have watched SV/VC game way too long to be healthy.
