  • Basically OpenAI has been a nonprofit organisation with a profit cap.

    Meaning that while they stole vast troves of data it would in theory return more value to its users than they paid to access it.

    With OpenAI becoming a public benefit corporation they will be able to pursue unlimited profits.

    OpenAI has also had a majority stake in OpenAI so has been able to control the direction of the organisation.

    That will change with investors now having the majority stake and OpenAI having a 26% share.

    Basically the ‘theft’ here is that future profits will flow to shareholders instead of reinvestment into OpenAI.

    There was never any plan for distribution of wealth from OpenAI to the public or governments so I find calling this theft a bit of a reach.















  • Many people fail to grasp this, fascism is the mutual merger of state and corporate power.

    Both work to enhance the control the other exerts in specific areas, such as corporate capture of regulatory bodies, and state capture of media.

    Fearful idiots are easily duped by the state and media into ‘othering’ a group of people.

    Claims that the ‘other’ group are weaklings eroding the country but powerful enough to be running some kind of shadow government are common in fascism.

    This gives more ‘reason’ for the fearful idiots to push their ‘saviour’ figure into the role of dictator.
