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.

it's governed by VC execs. No shit they're lying - their mouths are moving.

n.b. It's not, that's why it was possible for them to move on from Altman

They didn't move on from Altman did they? So was it really possible?

They didn't fail to get rid of Altman because the board is VCs. Because the board is not VCs.

Except that's not really true. Almost everyone on the board were either VCs themselves or had very strong ties to the them. In any case OpenAI would be irrelevant without significant investments from organizations/people who want a return on them. So it's basically a moot point: no VCs/big corporations = no fancy,extremely expensive to train & develop LLMs.
