Did OpenAI ever even claim that they would be an open source company?
It seems like their driving mission has always been to create AI that is the "most beneficial to society".. which might come in many different flavors.. including closed source.

I don't see much evidence that the OpenAI that exists now—after Altman's ousting, his return, and the ousting of those who ousted him—has any interest in mind besides its own.

From their very own website. Of course they deleted it as soon as Altman took over and turned it into a for profit, closed company.
