The irony of OpenAI is that sama and friends would have had a much easier time forking and starting a new AI company if it was actually open.

A doodler and computerer. I like permissive/permissionless open source, smart contracts, p2p systems, room-scale VR, and NixOS.

Currently: WhatsABI

Be specific. Building culture3.xyz — where culture and technology meet — & usehousematch.com — also farcaster.info

That doesn't help sama start a new AI company.

Their only chance at continuity is to join MSFT, would have had other choices if it were open.

The weights and IP is already licensed to Microsoft

Someone actually bought the .ai version lol
