Reply to comment by PlaysForDays in The CEO of OpenAI had dropped hints that GPT-4, due in a few months, is such an upgrade from GPT-3 that it may seem to have passed The Turing Test by lughnasadh
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.
