Of course the CEO of a for-profit company thinks their new product is a huge improvement over the previous model. That’s how to do PR.

But that’s not even what’s happening here, it’s just a meme on twitter that doesn’t reference GPT-4, a timeline for release, or make claims about performance.

They hyped GPT-2 saying they didn't want to release it because it was so powerful it was dangerous and scary, and when it was actually released to the public it was... meh, yeah, impressive technology, but definitely nowhere near what even a 12-year old can write

But does the CEO want to make a fool of themself? Yes it's all hype for now, fortunately we don't have long to wait.

Open AI is a nonprofit.

Open AI is not a non-profit company, not to mention how their flagship products are not open source.

it's blurry, probably intentionally so

>OpenAI is an artificial intelligence (AI) research laboratory consisting of the for-profit corporation OpenAI LP and its parent company, the non-profit OpenAI Inc.

don't see how open source has anything to do with non-profit though. plenty of for profit companies are very open source

They're clearly trying to look like a public benefit company while putting enough content behind walls that Microsoft is willing to pay to knock them down. Even stuff that's free-as-in-beer is not free-as-in-freedom, i.e. loginwalls and waitlists. It's probably in their best interest to try to make money now that they're heavily indebted to investors. There's nothing wrong with making money (maybe it wouldn't be successful if not run by filthy rich people), but it's a bit dishonest to try to thread the needle of developing proprietary IP and public-good while name-squatting on OpenAI.
