For their work’s unprecedented social impact, this structure makes a tonne of sense. What’s so hard about it? A pure profit motive driving decision making is the whack job positioning here.

Seems we’ve just seen a hard turn attempting to avoid an otherwise inevitable profit driven enshitification of Open AI’s work.
