OpenAI saga- Saturday Startup Story - 5 : In December 2015, Elon Musk, Sam Altman, and others co-founded OpenAI with a mission to ensure artificial general intelligence (AGI) benefits all of humanity. Initially structured as a non-profit, OpenAI aimed to prioritize safety and broad access to AGI advancements. However, in 2019, OpenAI faced the financial realities of AGI research. To secure funding for its ambitious projects, including advanced AI models like GPT-3, OpenAI made a strategic pivot. It transformed into a for-profit organization, OpenAI LP, backed by a capped return structure, ensuring a balance between profitability and its altruistic goals. This move allowed OpenAI to attract substantial investments, including a significant partnership with Microsoft. The for-profit model aimed to accelerate research and development while maintaining transparency and ethical considerations. OpenAI's journey showcases the evolving landscape of AI research, navigating the intersection of technology, finance, and ethical responsibility. On the other hand, Elon Musk is now suing OpenAI and Sam Altman and demanding his investment of $44M back as it’s not a non-profit anymore.

Yup, the drama behind openai will become a web series in future for sure. 1. Elon using due to its not a non profit organization anymore. 2. The way sam altman used and get back as CEO in days. This is cinema dude. 3. I think openai is not very ethical or agi benefit for humanity oriented. They are doing diff stuff. If anything gets out this will be the best web series on tech trust me.

On his part I think Elon Musk is right that AGI should have been a not for profit cause. Hope he wins.

Do you think there was any chance for OpenAI to succeed if it had been founded by a random entrepreneur rather than by founders of billion dollar companies like Elon Musk, Sam Altman, and Ilya Sutskever?
