They were able to attract talent and PR in the name of altruism and here they are now trying to flip the switch as quietly as possible. If the partner gets a vote/profit then a "charter" or "mission" won't change anything. You will never be able to explicitly prove that a vote had a "for profit" motive.

Elon was irritated that he was behind in the AI intellectual property race and this narrative created a perfect opportunity. Not surprised in the end. Tesla effectively did the same thing - "come help me save the planet" with overpriced cars. [Edit: Apparently Elon has left OpenAI but I don't believe for a second that he will not participate in this LP]

What's to stop someone with a vote but not an investment from significantly investing in an AI application (business/policy/etc.) that directly aligns with one of OpenAI's initiatives? The spirit of this LP structure is commendable but it does not do enough to eliminate pure profit-minded intentions.
