Considering that openAI was originally a non-profit with a stated goal of making benevolent and safe AI, I think it’s worth noting how far they’ve fallen from that mission. They were supposed to have a different direction from purely for-profit orgs, but of course the for-profit arm has taken over like a tumor.

Well there are already many companies working on AI in weapons, there was no point in open AI not participating in their minds because they are just missing out on that piece of the pie
Not saying this is good or acceptable, just saying it’s a no brainer from a business perspective.

Oh yes I forgot at one point they were non-profit and supposed to be open source. In that case, yes this is pretty hypocritical
