I think the problem is, this is not just about dumping the CEO. It’s signalling a very clear shift away from where OpenAI was heading - which seemed to be very focussed on letting people build on top of the technology.

The worry now is that the approach is going to be more of controlling access to just researchers who are trusted to be “safe”.

i agree with this. What about the GPTs Store. Are they planning on killing that? Just concerning they'll kill the platform unit AGI comes out.

Did you mean ‘_until_ AGI comes out.’?

Frankly in OpenAI's case, for a lowly IC or line manager, it is also very obviously about the money as well.

A non-profit immediately makes the values of OpenAI's PPUs (their spin on RSUs) to zero. Employees will be losing out of life changing sums on money.
