Deep dives

OpenAI's Evolution into a Cap Profit

OpenAI initially aimed to ensure that artificial general intelligence benefits all of humanity. They started as a nonprofit and believed in open sourcing their technology. However, they realized that to make progress in AI, a large amount of computing power was needed, which a nonprofit structure couldn't provide. Therefore, OpenAI converted into a cap profit company, with investors receiving only a limited return on their investment. This structure ensures that if AGI has the potential to replace human labor, the company is not incentivized to prioritize infinite profits.
