This is a big picture idea that we should examine more closely. Right now, in the heat of the chaotic collapse, it's easy to conclude that for-proft corp structure is the only way to go. But I think we should take a "proof is in the pudding" approach and remember all the amazing things that OpenAI accomplished under it's non-conventional org structure. Maybe that non-conventional org structure was a key ingredient in OpenAI's success? Sure, we now know that "long-term stability" does not seem to be a quality of this org structure, but nonetheless it seemed to have lots of other desirable qualities.
