Why are people surprised that openAI is closed since we know they don’t share anything since chatGPT was launched and they got billion in investments

The surprise is more at the (EDIT: brazen) pathological lying.

Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me.

We passed this point 10-15 cases ago. Don’t people learn what OpenAI is all about?

Hint: Think 1984. They are Ministry of Truth.

10?

This is only the 2nd or 3rd thing that seems to me even a little incoherent with their initially stated position, the other certain one being the mystery of why the board couldn't find anyone to replace Altman who didn't very quickly decide to take his side, and the other possible one being asking for a profit making subsidiary to raise capital (though at the time all the criticism I remember was people saying they couldn't realistically reach x100 and now it's people ignoring that it's limited to only x100).

I'm not counting starting from Altman Saga(TM), but from the beginning. Promises of being open, keeping structure secret, changing their terms to allow military use, etc. etc.

They state something publicly, but are headed to completely different trajectory in reality.

This is enough for me.

I was also counting from the beginning.
