The most important context for understanding the "Open"AI melodrama is this:
The founders launched it as mostly open tech in a not-for-profit enterprise. That structure was intended -- they said at the time -- to do good for humanity.
They proceeded to pull a bait and switch that ranks as one of the most cynical money grabs in human history.
Now, at least, all of the BS about ethics and honor are in the open -- basically the only thing about this company that is open.
