OpenAI's non-profit+for-profit structure is detailed at their own site: https://openai.com/our-structure/

It's a non-profit with a for-profit subsidiary. Please elaborate on "wrong."

(I'm @moralestapia, but on my phone)

Non-profits have a mission that has to be aligned with a public/social benefit.

No amount of structuring would help you if it turns out that your activities benefit a private individual/organization instead of whatever public benefit you wrote when setting up the non-profit.

All it takes if a judge ruling that [1] is happening, and then it's over for you and all your derived entities, subsidiaries, whatever-you-set-up-thinking-you-would-outsmart-the-irs. Judges can see through your bullshit, they do this 100s of times, year after year.

And also, "oh, but we wanted to do this since the beginning" only digs you a deeper hole, lmao. Do they not have common sense?

I'm surprised that @sama, whose major talent is manipulat... sorry "social engineering", greenlit this approach.
