If they stayed small and 100% non-profit, would the influence or value of the non profit be more, or less, than it is today?

I think the non-profit has around 25% ownership of something that is around a trillion dollars of on-paper money.

I guess we will see what things are still worth when the crazy days come to an end.

But the purpose of a non profit is not to maximise profit in a for profit investment.

How well is non profit doing at furthering its goals? It formerly had the purpose of “safely” ensuring artificial intelligence benefits all of humanity. It looks like it gave up on that so its staff could be incredibly rich.

Frankly the non-profit has failed. OpenAI is one of the least open of the AI companies (Anthropic is a bit worse). If it wasn't for the labs in China the dream of an actual open ai system would be dead.

I feel like people don’t give OpenAI enough credit for the early papers they did publish. Those are what showed the way that everyone else has built on.
