Seeing the discussions, I would point out that a startup needs stability in leadership to grow that fast.

Look at Google, Meta, etc.

They were super stable in leadership when they took off.

Can’t say the same for OpenAI.

Also, being an AI researcher, them converting to profit org after accepting donations in name of humanity and non-profit is honestly shameful and will not attract most talented researchers.

Similar to what happened to Microsoft once they got labelled as “evil”.
