How could the board let this happen!
More seriously, this is both an obvious outcome, and also feels a bit shady?
It's true that OpenAI needs A LOT of money/capital, and so needs funding and partnerships which leads to this kind of thing.
But it's also true that the only reason they got exist in the first place and got to this point, is by pitching themselves as an 'open', almost public good kind of company and took donations based on this.
