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.

What did they lie about objectively? The entire benefit to humanity statement is subjective enough to be not considered lying and many consider closed AI to be the safest. Changing their goals is also not lying.

In fact, I would consider changing goals publicly to be better than not following the goals.

Wired claims OpenAI’s “reports to US tax authorities have from its founding said that any member of the public can review copies of its governing documents, financial statements, and conflict of interest rules.” That was apparently a lie.

Changing a forward-looking commitment is. Particularly when it changes the moment it’s called.
