It's the natural outcome of next-quarter short-termism. The board and C-suite will be fine (monetarily).

I am surprised that they keep going with it, seeing how fast it improves and basically soon running themselves too out of business.

What's even their end goal? Open source models make sense, if profit is not the target, but for OpenAI and the rest, once they achieve "AGI", don't they basically become useless?
