Big news today, via Stephanie Palazzolo at The Information: the group Public Citizen yesterday petitioned the state California to reevaluate OpenAI’s nonprofit status.
Harder to claim that you must be given access to everyone else’s copyrighted materials gratis when you can no longer claim to be a nonprofit defending humanity from your creation.
Coming from a legal background and fairly tech savvy, I had not heard the term "e/acc". After having Wikipedia bring me up to speed, I realized that I've read quite a bit put out by its advocates, primarily Andrew Ng. What concerns me is that they, like so many, see everything in black and white, this or that. I just don't get the lack of discourse. What's truly sad, is that honest discourse, listening, give and take is how we evolve.
Could they separate the non-profit from the for-profit? So that the non-profit keeps the "OpenAI" name and has the option to keep doing research, while the for-profit has to adopt a new name?
“Non-profit” this is such a scam...even after all the game to thrones nonsense that happened with OpenAI/Microsoft. To still try to pass this off as non-profit is an insult to any even half thinking person. What a fraud.
Your desire to see OpenAI and all research & development of LLM's and future AGI is a sad sight to behold.... be good Gary and try your best to contribute useful technical and scientific information to the field of Simulated Intelligence i.e. Artificial Knowledge Tools.

Would be nice if the AG forces some transparency.
i shoulda said that at the end!

I'll get the popcorn ready, it's always fun to watch e/accholes squirm.

"Knows"??
Giving ChatGPT pronouns?
And choosing "his", I have to notice?
The lion, the witch, the audacity of this bitch...
they are considering turning it into for-profit corporation https://www.businessinsider.com/sam-altman-mulls-turning-openai-into-a-regular-company-2024-5.

see Public Citizen’s request to CA attorney general to do just that (discussed in an earlier post)

Please, stop.

That was a straight news article

I think the non profit owns a significant portion of the for-profit. So it's assets are worth a lot
